- Recommendation
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. Rather that the Government has taken and will continue to take a range of measures by the adoption of policies and where capacity allows the change of laws that advance the economic, social and cultural well being of the people of 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

Free comprehensive health care for life and free education for the nation's children up to 14 years of age (a far-sighted policy dating back to 1875) points to a progressive domestic realisation of the rights set out in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) even though the Kingdom has not ratified this treaty. The development of these policies was accompanied by clear and attainable targets that have been monitored and evaluated on the way forward
