08 Dec 2003 (Government of the Cook Islands) Cook Islands' Prime Minister’s Office chief of staff, Joe Caffery, has released a statement clarifying the list of public holidays in the Cook Islands and the dates on which they are to be observed. • More News Updates For the full version of the summarized news items above, and older news items not displayed above, go to the Cook Islands public holidays news and updates page, or worldwide public holidays news and updates page, or subscribe to one of our free email newsletters.

Governing Law: Official public holidays in the Cook Islands are observed on the days prescribed by the Public Holidays Act 1999, as clarified by a notice released by the Prime Minister's Office on December 8, 2003. • When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the holiday is to be observed on the following Monday. • Cook Islands International Codes CK and COK (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ck (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Cook Islands information and news: ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Cook Islands maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Cook Islands), and Wikipedia (includes Cook Islands commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Cook Islands, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions. For more information, see our pages on the religious calendars of the world.
