A new Non-Government Organization now registered as Simple Law Inc. was officially launched last night.

What Simple Law Inc wants is a Samoan society in which people are well informed of their human rights, the legal system and the laws governing their country.

Simple Law Inc’s task is therefore to provide leadership on legal issues by building partnerships with other stakeholders, having a constructive relationship with the government, be proactive to the community and of promoting community ownership of human rights.

As an effective NGO, Simple Law Inc is committed to promoting the principles on the rule of law, equity and fairness for all, trust and accountability, leadership and transparency and place emphasis on the value of the people of Samoa.

Simple Law Inc is further committed to enhancing the Samoan people’s livelihoods through equitable access to legal information available.

Simple Law Inc works towards the promotion of community awareness and acceptance of the rule of law; maximizes the use of cultural norms; emphasize the responsibilities of all Samoans to foster human rights and cultural rights; create a more responsive awareness to legislative and other changes; to coordinate and review legislative amendments contrary to the Constitution and the development of an active membership role on the international forums such as the United Nations.

Simple Law Inc is a well balanced NGO made up of lawyers and non lawyers from other professions and sectors of the community who all have the burning desire to help the wider community.

Simple Law Inc wishes to acknowledge with thanks the funding contributions from New Zealand High Commission, Green plants Global Fund and Nonu Samoa.
