The political status of Palau, part of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, is the subject of debate in several forums, including the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council, the U.S. Congress, and the European Parliament. In Palau, failure to resolve the issue has led to violence and intimidation, and the denial of citizens' legal and constitutional rights. Palau's situation is discussed in the context of Palau's strategic importance to the United States. The United States wants Palau to enter into a Compact of Free Association with the United States in order to maintain American military hegemony over Micronesia. To achieve this, the United States has been prepared to work through a corrupt Palauan administration, ignoring U.S. trusteeship obligations to the Palauan people. This article concludes by discussing the likely outcome in terms of both the political processes within the U.S. legislature and the intimidatory tactics applied by the Palauan administration, but offers at least guarded optimism for the future
