Samoa judge wants Children's Commission

TheĀ Samoa ObserverĀ reports that Senior Justice Vui Clarence Nelson made the suggestion in a briefing paper submitted to the Cabinet last month.

In the report, Justice Vui said it's time for children's issues to be given the importance they deserve.

He said this can be achieved through the establishment of the office of a National Children's Commissioner responsible for all matters affecting children.

Justice Nelson added he intends to pursue the matter with the Government through the Minister of the Ministry of Women Community and Social Development.
