Claim: In 2001, a rival "Council of Elders No. 2" established the Rapa Nui Parliament; its leader Rafael Tuki has pursued the island's case before the UN Special Committee on Decolonization, stating his aim to begin an independence process, a minority position distinct from the broader movement's focus on autonomy.
