This is not to say that Government believes that there is no room for further improvement in the development of economic, social and cultural rights in Tonga.

Further discussion on economic, social and cultural rights and the extent to which they ought to be justiciable is likely to arise in the course of the public consultation on a possible Bill of Rights and Responsibilities either separated from or incorporated into new Constitutional arrangements
