Solomon Islands travel information
The UK established a protectorate over the Solomon Islands in the 1890s. Some of the bitterest fighting of World War II
occurred on these islands. Self-government was achieved in 1976 and independence two years later. Ethnic violence, government
malfeasance, and endemic crime have undermined stability and civil society. In June 2003, Prime Minister Sir Allen KEMAKEZA
sought the assistance of Australia in reestablishing law and order; the following month, an Australian-led multinational force
arrived to restore peace and disarm ethnic militias. The Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI) has been
very effective in restoring law and order and rebuilding government institutions.
