The traditional religion, sometimes considered a form of animism, has been described by various authors, notably the Anglican missionary and anthropologist Robert Codrington in his famous 1891 monograph The Melanesians: Studies in Their Anthropology and Folk-lore (1891). [9] He was followed by other scholars, including anthropologists [10] [11] In March 2017, at the 34th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council, Vanuatu made a joint statement on behalf of some other Pacific nations raising human rights abuses in the Western New Guinea or West Papua region, which has been part of Indonesia since 1963, [121] and requested that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights produce a report [122] [123] as more than 100,000 Papuans allegedly have died during decades of Papua conflict. [124] Indonesia rejected Vanuatu's allegations. [123] In September 2017, at the 72nd Session of the UN General Assembly, the Prime Ministers of Vanuatu, Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands once again raised human rights concerns in West Papua.

Economy Before 1981, the currency used in Vanuatu was New Hebrides franc. One year after the nation received independence, this currency was replaced by the vatu at par. The vatu was issued without any sub-unit with 1 vatu being its smallest unit. The circulation of the Australian dollar ceased right after the introduction of the vatu. Coins Vanuatu culture retains a strong diversity through local regional variations and through foreign influence. Vanuatu may be divided into three major cultural regions. In the north, wealth is established by how much one can give away, through a grade-taking system. Pigs, particularly those with rounded tusks, are considered a symbol of wealth throughout Vanuatu. In the centre, more traditional Melanesian cultural systems dominate. In the south, a system involving grants of title with associated privileges has developed. [174]

[179] The less significant groups are the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Church of Christ, [180] Neil Thomas Ministries (NTM), Jehovah's Witnesses, and others. In 2007, Islam in Vanuatu was estimated to consist of about 200 converts.

There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu, including Lopevi, Mount Yasur and several underwater volcanoes.

[100] Vanuatu is recognised as a distinct terrestrial ecoregion, which is known as the Vanuatu rain forests. [101] It is part of the Australasian realm, which includes New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. In foreign affairs, Lini joined the Non Aligned Movement, opposed Apartheid in South Africa and all forms of colonialism, established links with Libya and Cuba, and opposed the French presence in New Caledonia and their nuclear testing in French Polynesia. [64] [65] Opposition to Lini's tight grip on power grew and in 1987, after he had suffered a stroke whilst on a visit to the United States, a section of the Vanua'aku Pati (VP) under Barak Sopé broke off to form a new party (the Melanesian Progressive Party, MPP), and an attempt was made by President Ati George Sokomanu to unseat Lini. [59] This failed, and Lini became increasingly distrustful of his VP colleagues, firing anyone he deemed to be disloyal. [63] Mookie Alexander (March 18, 2018).
