A United Nations official says Pacific nations need to make sure cultural beliefs are not infringing human rights.
The UN Special Rapporteur for Cultural Rights, Farida Shaheed, is in the Pacific to attend the first ever Pacific Cultural Rights Symposium in the Solomon Islands.
Ms Shaheed says the Pacific is not a region she is familiar with but has been impressed by its cultural diversity.
However, she says some representatives at the symposium have raised concern about local traditions infringing on human rights.
