    PFTAC 2018 Steering Committee (SC) Minutes Tuesday, 28 March 2018 Agenda 1: Welcome Remarks were presented by: Hon. Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, Attorney- General and Minister for Economy of Fiji Hon. Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, Attorney-General and Minister for Economy of Fiji, welcomed all the participants to Fiji and to the PFTAC Steering Committee meeting. This year marks the 25th anniversary of PFTAC’s establishment and presence in the Pacific. First and foremost, the Hon. Minister noted the recent destructive cyclones experienced in Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. The PFTAC Steering Committee meeting was to be held in Tonga but unfortunately had to be moved because of the impact of Cyclone Gita. This highlights to policy makers and officials the need to factor into our policies and decision making the effects of climate change given the impact it has on our economies and the risk of overturning years of development within a few hours, an unfortunate reality we need to take into consideration. We need robust systems to respond to ongoing climatic events that can undermine our economies, requiring careful thinking about our policies. Fiji has been happy and honored to host PFTAC for the last 25 years. PFTAC’s presence in the region has allowed many of us to benefit from the technical assistance provided. Given our countries’ economies of scale, we do not necessarily have the home-grown technical expertise to deal with the daily challenges of running a modern nation state in the 21st century. The Hon. Minister highlighted the wonderful opportunity to get together as countries to work with development partners, including the ADB, Australia, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, New Zealand, and agencies like PFTAC to meet our countries’ different challenges.

    SWPHC8-6 Report on CBC Technical Visit Samoa : April 07 1. Executive Summary. Representatives from the SWPHC and the IHB were pleased to attend the 11th PacMA and 1st Meeting of Ministers for Maritime Transport in Samoa. These meetings deliberated on the application of a range of IMO based policies, programmes, standards and procedures for the Pacific. The hydrographic presentation was well received and a paper was submitted to PacMA with the recommendation adopted by the Ministers of Transport. A number of opportunities were found to improve capacity building in the Pacific. Improving communication on hydrography is relatively straight forward and easily achieved. Linking local hydrographers with other maritime administrators and the sharing of in-country resources such as vessels has considerable merit. Further technical visits to specific countries with operational National Maritime Coordination Committees are recommended. Longer term value is likely to be gained from assessing the most critical capacity building needs and matching them against internal resources, training opportunities, the availability of local vessels and equipment and the services major Hydrographic Authorities are able to supply. Training opportunities described in IHO S-47 are not well known at this prevents countries from seeking access to teaching institutes through either scholarships or aid funding. 2. Background The 2nd meeting of the Capacity Building Committee, held in Fiji in November 2004, determined that support, in the form of a technical visit, was to be provided to the small Island States in the SWPHC. The original intent was to schedule a separate visit for each country however this proved to be logistically difficult.

With the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE– Conference of Security and Cooperation in Europe or CSCE prior to 1994) being one of the only actors able to facilitate minimal conflict mediation, a research focus on the institution raises questions of historical reconciliation and subsequently, interpretation of European security. This thesis adds to the existing body of knowledge by looking at implications of CSCE/OSCE institutionalization in relation to the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict, the possible application of a peacekeeping operation (PKO) in the region, and the subsequent narratives actors attempted to write through this process. As shown by recent OSCE Network Projects, contemplating narrative is critical when placing the CSCE/OSCE within a larger post-Cold War debate on historiography (Nünlist 2014; Nünlist, Aunesluoma, Zogg 2017; Zellner 2017). This study then tracks various actors’ interests in constructing new European conflict management structures and hence, a new meaning of European security after the Cold War.
