The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP)
The ODPP is an independent office by virtue of section 117 of the 2013 Constitution. The ODPP is motivated by the principle that it is in the interests of justice that the guilty be brought to justice and the innocent are not wrongly convicted.
The ODPP was first established under the Fiji Independence Act 1970. The Constitution stipulates the continued existence of the ODPP as per section 117.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) plays a key role in supporting the enforcement of criminal laws in Fiji, international laws and treaties and conventions that the Fijian Government has ratified, as well as contributing towards the continued development and maintenance of a just and fair criminal justice system.
