ASIA DIALOGUE ON FORCED MIGRATION - MEETING THREE PAGE 3

Asia Dialogue on Forced Migration Third Dialogue Meeting

Final Agenda

Details: Date: Sunday 4 September 2016 – Tuesday 6 September 2016

Venue: Sheraton Imperial, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Frame for the meeting: The Asia Dialogue on Forced Migration (the Dialogue) is an emerging regional forum for

independent and inclusive policy development on forced migration. The Dialogue comprises of

individuals from government, non-government organisations, policy and academic institutions,

and international organisations from within and beyond the region, acting in their personal

capacities.

In the first Dialogue meeting (August 2015) participants agreed forced migration is an

escalating issue in the region and established a collective purpose of influencing the policies

and practices of governments and regional processes and forums to generate more effective

responses. In its second meeting (January 2016) the Dialogue immersed itself in one of the

most difficult forced migration case studies in the region, the displacement of the Rohingya.

Participants honed ideas for improvements to regional architecture and forged

recommendations to the first Bali Process Ministerial Meeting in three years, held in March

2016. These recommendations were adopted by the Ministers.

The third and fourth Dialogue meetings (September 2016 and February/March 2017) follow the

Bali Process meetings, in which ministers agreed to review the Andaman Sea Crisis of 2015 to

draw lessons learned and work to implement necessary improvements, including to contingency

planning and preparedness. They also created a new mechanism, which authorises senior

officials to consult and convene meetings with affected and interested countries in response to

irregular migration issues or future emergency situations, which had previously not been

possible.

This year has been marked by fewer forced migrant movements in the Asia-Pacific, although

there is continued risk of mass displacement from Afghanistan, North Korea, Myanmar, Sri

Lanka, the Middle East and elsewhere due to conflict, natural disasters and extreme weather

events. At the same time Europe continues to struggle to cope with unprecedented levels of

displacement. Trafficking continues to be a dominant issue in the region, although some hope

can be derived from the adoption of the ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons,

Especially Women and Children in November 2015, obliging State Parties to take steps

(individually and together) to criminalise and prosecute trafficking, protect and support victims,

and prevent future trafficking.

Having established credibility, trust and external legitimacy in the first year of its operation, the

ASIA DIALOGUE ON FORCED MIGRATION - MEETING THREE PAGE 4

second year of the Dialogue’s work, encompassing the third and fourth meetings and activities

in between, will focus on policy development and domestic and regional outreach. The third year

of the Dialogue will see a renewed focus on implementing those proposals and securing the

long-term future of the Dialogue as a second track process in the region.

Focus Preparedness: The Dialogue continues to have an overall theme of better long-term

preparedness for mass forced displacement in the region.

We focus on the national capacities, policies, standards and regional structures we need to

respond more effectively to all forms of forced migration now, and into the future. We have

agreed that unless forced migration is properly managed it will have permanent and intensifying

negative impacts on countries in our region. Our objective is to support the development of a

more effective, durable and dignified approach. A collective, coordinated response to challenges

associated with both sudden and ongoing episodes of displacement, regardless of cause, is vital

to ensure continued regional security, harmony and prosperity.

Case Study/Theme: Each meeting will have a case study and/or thematic focus, to ground

discussions in a real-life case.

Regional Architecture and national/regional players: Dialogue members will continue to

consolidate, advance and test ideas on building a resilient and flexible regional architecture. We

will advance proposals to national and regional players and work to influence their adoption.

The third Dialogue meeting will focus on:

• Security and forced migration

• Role of business in responding to forced migration

• Regional architecture development, including the Dialogue’s contribution to the Bali Process

Andaman Sea Crisis Review

• Role of ASEAN in responding to forced migration
