Born in Osnabrück, Germany, Fr Miltrup was professed a Marist in 1932 in Glanerbrug, Holland. He studied Theology in Fürstenzell, Passau and was ordained there in 1935. A teacher in Ahmsen and Meppen during 1936-37, he was appointed to the mission in Oceania. He arrived in Kieta, North Solomon Is Region (Bougainville), PNG, on the 11th January, 1938, the year before the 2nd World War began. He was a valiant Marist missionary priest of the old-fashioned type who survived the harsh conditions of the early days of the mission in Bougainville. During the war he suffered greatly when he was a prisoner of the Japanese and barely escaped death on one occasion. After the war, in 1945, he went to Australia to recover health. A year later he was back on the job. In 1948 he was appointed Director of the Major Seminary in Torokina where the first local priests were ordained in 1953. The following year 1954 he returned to parish ministry in the Buin, Kieta, Arawa and Panguna areas. All went well until just before the Bougainville crisis in 1986 when he had retired to Koromira under the care of Hermann Wöste. He suffered a major setback in his health and was obliged to return to Germany for better care and treatment. In all he gave 48 years of his life to missionary work in the Oceania province.

Pacific Conference No.4 of the ICFTU/APRO held in Port Moresby in 1987 resolved that the ICFTU consider establishing a structure within the ICFTU that would provide a forum for the South Pacific and have an Oceanic identity. The conference also resolved that the ICFTU/APRO education program in the region should be expanded so that there was greater ability to plan and implement activities at the local level. As a result of those decisions the ICFTU/APRO education project was established in June 1988 with the appointment of a full-time educator. The project operated from a Brisbane office, located in the Queensland ACTU building. ICFTU/APRO Regional Conference No.14 held in Bangkok in 1988 endorsed the formation of specific structure for the South Pacific, including the appointment of a full-time executive officer to work alongside the project educator. It was resolved that an inaugural conference would be convened to formalise the establishment of the new body which replaced the Pacific Trade Union Forum and became known as the South Pacific and Oceanic Council of Trade Unions (SPOCTU).
SPOCTU operated as the peak council of the trade union movement in the Pacific Islands, representing affiliated organisations in Fiji, PNG, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga, New Caledonia, New Zealand and Australia. Conferences were held every two years and an intensive program of training workshops was undertaken, often in conjunction with the Pacific office of the Commonwealth Trade Union Council.

Edited by J-P Deterix, for EDIPOP; published by Agence Kanak de Presse, Noumea, for the political party FLNKS (Front de Libération National Kanak et Socialiste) which is an umbrella organization grouping several independentist parties in New Caledonia, for instance the PALIKA (Parti de Libération Kanak), the Union Calédonienne, the Rassemblement Démocratique Océanien and the Union Progressiste Mélanésienne. The composition of FLNKS is not stable since the independence movement is extremely divided. The FLNKS was founded in August 1984 by the independentist leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou, who was murdered with Yeiwéné Yeiwéné by a Kanak extremist in Ouvéa on 4 May 1989.

Jai Ram Reddy (born on 12 May 1937 in Lautoka, Fiji) is an Indo-Fijian statesman who has had a distinguished career in both legislative and judicial branches of the Fijian government. He was admitted to the Bar in New Zealand in 1960 and in Fiji in 1961. Between 1966 and 1970 he was Crown Counsel and Principal Legal Officer in the Attorney-General’s Office. Between 1970 and 1997 he was a senior partner of a law firm.

Reddy entered politics when he was appointed to the Senate in 1972, by the then leader of the opposition Sidiqu Koya. In 1977 he became leader of the National Federation Party (NFP). In this role he was Leader of the Opposition in the Fijian Parliament between 1977 and 1984; and again between 1992 and 1999.

Judge Reddy briefly served as Attorney-General and Minister for Justice in the Bavadra Government until its overthrow in a military coup in 1987. Judge Reddy was a Member of the Constitutional Review Commission which reviewed the 1990 Constitution of Fiji and removed all discriminatory provisions against Indo-Fijians.

He was re-appointed President of the Fiji Court of Appeal in January 2002, and retains his commission as Justice of Appeal (on leave).
