Background and political role

edit

Isaako is from Atafu.[1] He was the head of government of Tokelau (Ulu o Tokelau) from February 2004 to February 2005.[2]

Issues

edit

In May 2004, the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonialization held a seminar to discuss the independence of Tokelau from New Zealand. Isaako opposed the idea, mainly because Tokelau may be too small and undeveloped to function on its own.
