International Programs

The Federal Court has collaborated with the judiciary in Niue since 2005 on a number of areas including case management and court-annexed mediation. In addition, the Court was involved in training on judicial conduct, training-of-trainers and the development of a Benchbook as part of the Pacific Judicial Development Programme (PJDP), funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT).

During 2014-15 several workshops were held under PJDP such as the Family Violence and Youth Justice Workshop, which focused on giving enhanced access and rights to victims of family violence, and the Commissioners and Justices’ of the Peace of the High Court of Niue Workshop, which supported them in dealing with priority aspects of their judicial roles.
