PITCAIRN, HENDERSON, DUCIE AND OENO ISLANDS

I

(a) The Pitcairn Islands group is administered by a Governor, appointed under the provisions of the Pitcairn Order 1970, who is resident in Wellington, New Zealand. The Governor has powers to make laws for the peace, order and good government of the Islands. Any such law may be disallowed by Her Majesty through a Secretary of State. (b) There is a partly-elected, partly-nominated Island Council. Subject to the directions of the Governor, the Council provides for the enforcement of Ordinances in force in the Islands and has authority to make, amend, or revoke regulations for the good administration of the Islands, the maintenance of peace, order and public safety, and the social and economic betterment of the islanders.
