| Whakarāpopototanga: | The notion that the rule of law embodies or guarantees all the essential requirements for a perfectly just society is extravagant and naive. Nonetheless, the rule of law remains an essential human virtue whose usefulness the world has yet to outgrow.

While Iutisone Salevao works primarily within a legal analytical framework, he employs a multifaceted approach to address the challenge of making Western theories relevant to the concrete and normative contexts of the Pacific peoples, and to accommodate Pacific values, ideologies, structures and practices within the modern discourse on law. |
