The theme for Law Week 2019 is Fighting Illicit Drugs through Awareness.

The objective of this year’s Law Week is to educate the public of the laws relating to illicit drugs, the negative consequences of using illicit drugs, and the role that government and non-government institutions play in combatting illicit drugs in Tonga.
