Palau Quotes

“As a colonised people, we rely on justice more than the law that govern the people are always enacted for the interest of the colonial power or authority and subject to change from time to time based on the dictates of the colonial empire. Justice, on the other hand, is based on the principles of equity and fairness that recognise and may protect our interests a a colonised people.”

“In Koror, barbecue parties were organised in all the hamlets every night... Several guest speakers were invited to give speeches against the constitution, and many people joined or stopped by for free barbecues of good meat, chicken, and fish.

Their reasoning was based on the crowds they attracted to the barbecue parties and the positive statements of praise they received at these gatherings.”
