Marlene Moses

Her Excellency Marlene Inemwin Moses (born 1961 in Aiwo) is a diplomat and a political and administrative figure from Nauru.

She has served since 2005 as the current Nauruan Permanent Representative to the United Nations, with ambassadorial rank, having previously held consular responsibilities in Japan and New Zealand.

However, she was not immediately identified with the internal dissentions which rocked Nauru First in 2007, leading to ministerial crises.

Moses is an experienced administrator with many years of public service to her credit, and, given that she has emerged from times of prolonged political crisis in Nauru with little taint of controversy to her record, some observers believe that she would be in a strong position to offer balanced and uncompromised leadership at some future time of ministerial crisis.

One issue which has exercised the Government of Nauru, and which has involved Moses, is the preservation of tuna fishing stocks in the country's territorial waters.
