摘要

Tahiti is usually associated with honeymoons in swanky resorts rather than with a people struggling to free themselves from the colonial yoke. Yet, on May 17th, the territory of French Polynesia, of which Tahiti is the most populous island, was reinscribed on the UN's disapproving list of "non-self-governing territories". The un resolution requires France to move swiftly towards setting French Polynesia on the path to self-determination. France boycotted the proceedings. But only 12 days earlier, elections in its scattered French Polynesian imperial outpost brought a heavy defeat for the territory's long-standing pro-independence leader, Oscar Temaru, and victory for his arch-rival, Gaston Flosse, who vows never to let another flag fly over the presidential palace. Self-determination, the French government sniffed, "cannot be exercised against the will of the concerned populations".
