Recommendation 35
35
Deferred
Paragraph: 107
Explain Government's approach to linking trade agreements with human rights record.
Recommendation
The Government should explain whether it is adopting a two-track approach: negotiating trade agreements separately from discussions on human rights, or a conditional approach: in which trade deals are explicitly linked to—and limited by— our trading partner’s human rights record.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government partially agrees but does not explain its approach to linking trade agreements with human rights. Instead, it highlights its increased diplomatic presence and understanding of local context in Pacific Island Countries.
