Article 25
31. The rights and freedoms prescribed by the article are of conspicuous importance in the somewhat elementary system of administration of Pitcairn. This remains unchanged since it was described in the United Kingdom's first report on its dependent territories. The people of Pitcairn have given no indication that they find the manner of electing the Island Council too complex or inappropriate in any way. The subject was not mentioned by any person when the Governor visited the territory in 1985. There is now no discrimination between males and females for eligibility for election to the office of Island magistrate or chairman of the Internal Committee.
