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
