interconnectivity with other Asian partners.

V. Review of Other Work Programs of the ICAPP for 2016

1st Joint Session between the ICAPP Standing Committee and the APA Executive Council

At the 9th SC Meeting in Islamabad in March 2008, SC Members agreed to hold a joint session between the ICAPP Standing Committee and the Executive Council of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) to explore ways to promote cooperation and coordination between the two organizations. However, due to lack of communication between the Secretariats of the ICAPP and the APA, a joint session had hitherto not been convened.

At the 25th SC Meeting in Beijing in October 2015, SC Members agreed again to convene the first joint session in Phnom Penh on the sidelines of the APA Plenary Meeting which was to be held in Phnom Penh in December 2015. However, due to the need for more coordination with the APA, the dates for the joint session had been further delayed to early part of 2016.

Under the circumstances, the Secretariat recently conducted close consultation with several SC Members, and it was tentatively agreed to recommend to SC Members to defer the joint session with the APA indefinitely in view of the absence of enthusiasm on the part of the APA, until a strong request is received from the APA with a concrete proposal for such a meeting in the future, or until there arises a strong need for closer coordination and cooperation with the APA Executive Council to further promote ICAPP objectives and activities.

4th Meeting of the ICAPP Youth Wing

At the 25th SC Meeting held in Beijing. SC Members of the Indian People’s Party (BJP: Bharatiya Janata Party) and the Indian National Congress offered to host the 4th Meeting of the ICAPP Youth Wing in New Delhi in early 2016. However, due to other political developments, including local elections in some key provinces, they recently proposed to defer the meeting to the latter part of the year, after October.

4th Meeting of the ICAPP Women’s Wing and 2nd Meeting of the ICAPP Media Forum

Both the ICAPP Women’s Wing and the ICAPP Media Forum have agreed and proposed, at their previous annual meetings respectively, to hold their next annual meetings on the sidelines of the 9th General Assembly to be held in Kuala Lumpur during September 1-4, 2016.

ICAPP Special Conference on Migration and Refugees

At the 25th SC Meeting in Beijing in October 2015, Hon. Abdulkadir Emin Onen, former Member of Parliament and Deputy Chairperson of the Foreign Affairs Department, who attended on behalf of Hon. Mevlut Cavusoglu, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vice Chairman in Charge of Foreign Affairs of the Justice and Development Party (AK Parti) of Turkey, offered to host ICAPP Special Conference on the topic of migration with special focus

on refugee issues in Turkey during the first half of 2016.

In this regard, the AK Parti of Turkey has recently proposed to hold the “ICAPP Special Conference on Migration and Refugees” in Turkey, in September or October, 2016, in consideration of the first World Humanitarian Summit to be held in Istanbul in June, 2016. More details on the conference will be provided in due course. The tentative program of the conference, which has been proposed to the AK Parti by the Secretariat, is attached as Appendix VII.

1st Meeting of Asia-Europe Political Forum

At the 25th SC Meeting in Beijing in October 2015, SC Members endorsed the agreement to establish the Asia-Europe Political Forum (AEPF), which had been reached, in principle, at the meetings between the leaders of the four principal groups of political parties in the European Parliament, i.e. the European People's Party (EPP), the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), the European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR) and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), and Hon. Chung Eui-yong, Co-Chairman of the Standing Committee and Secretary General of the ICAPP, during Mr. Chung’s visit to Brussels in September 2015.

In this regard, the ICAPP Secretariat has proposed to the groups of political parties in the European Parliament to hold the first meeting of the AEPF in Brussels in June 2016, and also suggested that if it would not be possible to hold the meeting in Brussels, the ICAPP will consider holding the meeting in Asia. The Secretariat’s proposal is attached as Appendix VIII.

To this proposal, groups of political parties in the European Parliament have recently responded that they would need more time to define the objective and work of the AEPF before they decide to have its first meeting and proposed to have further consultations. They also suggested the possibility of holding the meeting in the latter part of 2016.

In this regard, one of the groups of the political parties in the European Parliament, i.e. ECR, decided to send its representatives to the 26th SC Meeting in Jakarta as observers and have more consultations on the proposal with SC Members.

VI. Other Activities of the ICAPP

Follow-up of Discussions at the ICAPP Special Conference on Silk Road

In Para 13 of the Beijing Initiative which was adopted at the ICAPP Special Conference on Silk Road held in Beijing in October 2015, the participants in the conference unanimously agreed to the proposal to establish a “Silk Road Exchange and Cooperation Center for Political Parties.”

In this regard, after close consultation and coordination among some SC Members through the Secretariat, the Communist Party of China has recently made the proposal regarding the establishment of the Center in Beijing which is attached as Appendix IX.

ICAPP’s Bid for Observer Status in the U.N. General Assembly

As was informed by ICAPP Update 15-63 of December 16, 2015, the Sixth Committee of the 70th Session of the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA), at its meeting on December 14, 2015, decided to defer a decision on the request for observer status for the ICAPP in the UNGA, in the absence of consensus, to the 71st Session of the UNGA which would start in September 2016. Report on the final decision (U.N. Document, A.70.535) at the Sixth Committee of the 70th UNGA Session is attached as Appendix X.

The draft resolution to invite the ICAPP as U.N. observer had been co-sponsored by the governments of 10 member states, i.e. Australia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Nepal, Netherlands, Philippines and Sri Lanka,

In this regard, more governments of the countries in the region, in particular those countries which are represented in the SC, are requested to join the draft resolution as co-sponsors.

The Secretariat also plans to send a mission to Argentina and Venezuela which were the only two Member States which had expressed reservations on the item of granting observer status to the ICAPP. Details of the plan will be prepared in close coordination with the COPPPAL and circulated among SC Members for their consideration to participate in the mission. In this regard, the recent changes in the political situation in the two countries after the parliamentary and presidential election since last November may need to be closely evaluated with regard the ICAPP’s initiative.

Signing of the Inter-governmental MOU to Support ICAPP Activities

The inter-governmental MOU to provide support for the activities of the ICAPP, which was first signed on July 26, 2013, has so far been signed by the governments of 10 countries in the region, i.e. Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Iran, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

In this regard, more governments of the countries in the region, in particular those countries which are represented in the SC, are requested to sign the MOU in the near future.

VII. Future of the ICAPP

Budget of the Secretariat

Since the ICAPP Secretariat was formally established in Seoul on January 1, 2009, in accordance with the agreements reached at the 9th SC Meeting in Islamabad in March 2008 and the endorsement made at 5th General Assembly in Astana in September 2009, the Secretariat has consistently negotiated with the Government of the Republic of Korea on the possibility of providing budgetary support for the operation and management of the ICAPP Secretariat as the host nation, with strong support of the two principal political parties in Korea which are represented in the SC.

In this regard, the Korean Government decided to provide financial support from the budget of the Prime Minister’s Office for the activities of the ICAPP Secretariat from the fiscal year of 2016, under several conditions. First, the budget has to be implemented strictly in accordance with the government’s budget regulations. Second, the use of budget will be strictly limited to the management and activities of the ICAPP Secretariat. Third, the Korean government will also evaluate the activities of the ICAPP Secretariat at the end of each fiscal year and decide whether to continue its budgetary assistance. Although the total amount of the allocated budget is not sufficient to cover all the expenses of the Secretariat’s activities, it can be a positive step forward to further institutionalization of the ICAPP.

Proposal to Establish the ICAPP Fund

Recently some SC Members expressed their interest in establishing the ICAPP Fund for ICAPP activities and projects. In this regard, some SC Members also expressed their willingness to make contributions to the ICAPP Fund, if most of the political parties represented in the SC would join and the rules on how to manage the fund in a transparent way would be well prepared in advance at the SC.

Further Institutionalization of the ICAPP

Some SC Members suggested there is need to have more exchanges of frank views among SC Members on how to make the ICAPP more sustainable and institutional.

1. The official language of the 1st Trilateral Meeting among the ICAPP Standing Committee, COPPPAL Coordinating Body and CAPP Executive Committee will be English. However, if any delegate or observer provides his/her own interpreter, who can translate his/her native language into English and vice versa, the hosts of the conference will provide equipment for simultaneous interpretation.

2. The Heads of Delegations, and Heads of Observer Delegations, will be invited to deliver their statements at the Plenary Sessions on the main theme of the “Role of Political Parties in Enhancing Democracy for the Benefit of People’s Welfare,” and on how to further promote cooperation among the political parties in the three continents to meet common challenges more effectively. Each statement, however, should not exceed seven minutes for the smooth conduct of the conference. The list of speakers will be prepared and circulated by the ICAPP Secretariat at the beginning of each plenary session.

3. All participants are requested to take note that, at the 13th Meeting of the ICAPP Standing Committee held in Kunming, China in July 2010, an understanding was reached that all representatives of the political parties at ICAPP meetings should refrain from raising any issues directly related to bilateral conflicts or disputes among the countries in the region. And it is hoped that same understanding will be applied to all participants in the trilateral meeting.

4. The “Jakarta Declaration on Trilateral Cooperation” will be adopted at the closing session of the meeting.

We, the representatives of political parties of Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Africa, convened the first Trilateral Meeting among the Standing Committee of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP), the Coordinating Body of the Permanent Conference of Political Parties in Latin America and the Caribbean (COPPPAL) and the Executive Committee of the Council of African Political Parties (CAPP) in Jakarta, Indonesia during April 22-24, 2016 under the main theme of “The Role of Political Parties in Enhancing Democracy for the Benefit of the People’s Welfare.” Representatives of groups of political parties in the European Parliament also attended the meeting as observers.

We recognized that the ICAPP, launched in 2000, is an open forum for all political parties currently representing over 350 political parties in 52 countries in Asia, that the COPPPAL, founded in 1979, is a most prominent and influential multilateral political forum currently comprising of over 60 political parties in 29 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the CAPP, established in 2013, is the main political forum endorsed by the African Union, now representing 58 political parties in 38 countries in Africa.

First of all, we reaffirmed our commitment to the intent and spirit of the United Nations Charter for international peace and cooperation, and our respect for the Ten Principles of Bandung, adopted in 1955, which emphasized, among others, fundamental human rights, sovereignty, territorial integrity and equality of all nations, non-interference in internal affairs, peaceful settlement of international disputes, and international justice. In this regard, we called on all political parties in our continents to further strengthen their roles in governments and parliaments to uphold these principles.

We confirmed that the main role of political parties is to enhance democratic values and institutions in our societies by adhering to principles of good governance and the rule of law which are characterized as participatory, consensus-oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive. And we agreed that by enhancing democracy we can bring more concrete and positive outcome in our efforts for eradicating poverty and fighting climate change, which are two gravest challenges confronting humankind in our time.

In particular, we declared that poverty passed down from generation to generation is a most prevalent threat in every society of ours which needs to be urgently addressed. One third of the world population is still suffering from rampant poverty, and most of the world’s poor are living in our continents. For its appropriate remedy, we stressed the need to find equitable means to share development benefits while maintaining economic dynamism, not only within national boundaries but also in view of interests and rights of all countries, including access to resources and technology.

We identified environmental degradation as the other most serious challenge in our continents. We are coping increasingly with super typhoons, hurricanes or cyclones, great floods and landslides, severe drought, desertification, rising sea level, and enormous destruction in eco-

system. In order to deal with the hazards and perils of climate change, we need to turn our political and economic policies away from business as usual and face up to our collective responsibility. In this regard, we called on all political parties in our continents to urge their governments and parliaments to ratify immediately the Paris Agreement on Climate Change of 2016. We noted that issues of one nation now easily spill over to other countries, and, therefore, we need closer cross-border cooperation to meet our common challenges. We particularly emphasized that good governance at the international level is equally important to achieve our common goal to free the entire human race from poverty and environmental degradation.

We also noted that the rapid pace of globalization and technical innovation in recent years that has greatly contributed to tremendous growth in exchange of goods and manpower across national borders, and made the world even more inter-connected, has not necessarily succeeded in providing answers to the threats we are facing in our continents. We emphasized that globalization should be achieved in a way to protect and promote hamony and unity in diversity and plurality which were inherent in our societies, and not to weaken the abilities of our societies to handle our own challenges. In particular, we called on all political parties in our continents to unite their efforts, together with their governments and parliaments, to combat terrorist activities and organizations, irrespective of their motives. We also stressed the need for cooperation among all stakeholders to prevent infectious diseases, and fight such trans-national crimes as human trafficiking, drugs trafficking and illicit arms trading.

In order to harness what we have gained at the first Trilateral Meeting, we agreed to initiate a process to further strengthen the trilateral cooperation in the areas of common interest among political parties in Asia, Latin America and Africa in a more inclusive way. In this regard, we agreed to have regular meetings among representatives of the ICAPP Standing Committee, the COPPPAL Coordinating Body and the CAPP Executive Committee to work together for gradual institutionalization of the trilateral cooperation among political parties in our continents. We also welcomed the observer delegation from the European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR) in the European Parliament and agreed to establish close contacts with other groups of political parties in Europe with a view to launching a global forum of political parties in the future.

We also endorsed the ICAPP’s initiative to obtain observer status in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) so as to bring its activities more in conformity with the U.N. programs and institutions. In particular, representatives of the COPPPAL and CAPP welcomed the ICAPP’s proposal to closely coordinate its activities in the UNGA with the COPPPAL and CAPP, once granted observer status, and agreed to recommend their respective governments to render full support for this initiative at the U.N.

Lastly, we extended our deepest gratitude to the Indonesia Democratic Party (PDI-P: Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan) and the Party of Functional Groups (Golkar) of Indonesia for co-hosting this historic Trilateral Meeting. We also expressed our sincere appreciation to H.E. Joko Widodo, President, H.E. Jusuf Kalla, Vice President, and H.E. Dr. H. Ade Komarudin, M.H., Speaker of the House of Representatives, and other distinguished leaders of principal political parties in the Republic of Indonesia for their support and warm hospitality.

Adopted unanimously on April 23, 2016, in Jakarta, Indonesia

Concept Paper for the ICAPP Special Workshop on Democratic Transition in Nepal (February 15, 2016, Kathmandu)

The political transformation in Nepal began with a pro-democracy movement in the early 1990s, which successfully ended the thirty-year-old authoritarian political system and replaced it with a multiparty parliamentary system. Unfortunately, however, growing differences among diverse political forces led to an armed conflict which lasted for more than a decade until 2006 and resulted in enormous sacrifices, including loss of many innocent lives and displacement of many people throughout the country.

Since the end of the armed conflict, Nepal had undergone a complex political transition which eventually ushered in a new era of democracy with the promulgation of the new democratic constitution in 2015. In fact, Nepal has made a three-in-one transition: from war to peace, from monarchy to democratic republic, and from unitary to federal system of government. Very few countries in Asia have achieved such a diverse transition successfully, and peacefully, over such a short span of time.

This transition deserves deep appreciation and strong support from the international community. The Standing Committee of the ICAPP, International Conference of Asian Political Parties, shares the hope of the Nepali people that this transition will herald long-lasting peace and shared prosperity in Nepal.

In this regard, His Excellency K.P. Sharma Oli, Prime Minister of Nepal, who himself had been an active member in the ICAPP Standing Committee representing the Communist Party of Nepal (UML) for many years until his election as Prime Minister last October, has invited some of his former colleagues in the ICAPP Standing Committee to visit Kathmandu and to hold the “ICAPP Special Workshop on Democratic Transition in Nepal” on February 15, 2016, in cooperation with the CPN (UML) and the Nepali Congress Party.

The ICAPP representatives will share their perspectives in political decision-making through consensus in democratic transition, in particular the experiences in their own countries, at the special workshop.

The special workshop will also be participated by the leaders of the Government, Parliament and principal political parties, as well as leading academicians and media representatives of Nepal, who will share their respective perspectives in the recent democratic transition in Nepal.

ICAPP Statement on Democratic Transition in Nepal (February 15, 2016)

We, the Members of the Standing Committee of the ICAPP, International Conference of Asian Political Parties, who participated in the ICAPP Special Workshop on Democratic Transition in Nepal, held in Kathmandu on February 15, 2016, expressed our most sincere gratitude and appreciation to His Excellency, K.P. Sharma Oli, Prime Minister and President of the Communist Party of Nepal (UML), for his initiative to host the historic event not only to celebrate the successful democratic transition in Nepal but also share different perspectives and experiences of democratic transition in Nepal and other countries in Asia.

We also expressed our gratitude to H.E. Sushil Koirala and H.E. Puspa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, the leaders of the Nepali Congress Party and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), for their participation in the workshop and sharing their perspectives and insight in successfully bringing in more stable democratic institution in Nepal. They were also greatly honored by the opportunity to meet with H.E. President Bidhya Devi Bhandari.

The political transformation in Nepal which began with a pro-democracy movement in the early 1990s successfully ended the long-existing non-democratic political system and replaced it with a multiparty parliamentary system. Since then, however, Nepal has undergone a complex transition. Growing differences among diverse political forces led to a civil war which lasted for more than a decade and resulted in enormous sacrifices, including loss of many innocent lives and displacement of many people throughout the country.

But with strong and patriotic determination of the people and courageous leadership of many heroic statesmen, Nepal has finally ushered in a new era of democracy with the promulgation of the new democratic constitution in September 2015. In fact, Nepal has made a three-in-one transition: from war to peace, from monarchy to democratic republic, and from unitary to federal system of government. Very few countries in Asia have achieved such a diverse transition successfully over such a short span of time.

This transition deserves deep appreciation and strong support from the international community. The ICAPP shares the hope of the Nepali people and will lead the way to mobilize international cooperation and support so that this transition will herald long-lasting peace and shared prosperity in Nepal.

We also took this opportunity to express our heartfelt condolences on the sad and sudden passing away of Rt. Hon. Sushil Koirala, Former Prime Minister of Nepal, who played a key role in the democratic transition in Nepal. May his soul rest in peace!

Concept Paper for 3rd ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking (Islamabad, March 11-13, 2016)

Background

The ICAPP established its Women's Wing and convened the first meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, in April 2013. At the meeting, the ICAPP Women's Wing elected its Bureau, which is composed of representatives from Azerbaijan, China, Iran, Republic of Korea, Nepal, Thailand and Turkey.

At the 2nd Bureau Meeting of the ICAPP Women's Wing held in Bangkok, Thailand, in June 2013, human trafficking and violence against women were identified as the two most urgent challenges for women in Asia. In this regard, at the 3rd Bureau Meeting held in Seoul, Korea, in September 2013, it was agreed to convene the 1st ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking in Kathmandu, Nepal, in January 2014. Representatives of 20 to 30 political parties in Asia with a keen interest in fighting human trafficking as well as experts from several international organizations that are directly involved with the issue were to be invited. It was also decided that the ICAPP Secretariat would provide administrative assistance to organize the workshop and help source financial support.

Accordingly, the 1st ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, during January 16-18, 2014. The workshop was co-hosted by the five principal political parties in Nepal, including the Nepali Congress Party, Communist Party of Nepal (UML), Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), Madhesi People’s Rights Forum-Nepal, and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). Conference expenses, including local accommodation for foreign participants, were sponsored by Girija Prasad Koirala Foundation of Nepal, Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA). Representatives of twenty political parties from Azerbaijan, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Turkey participated in the workshop together with the representatives of several governments and sixteen international, national and non-governmental organizations.

At the end of the 1st workshop, the participants adopted the "Kathmandu Statement on Human Trafficking," in which they declared human trafficking as a major crime against humanity of such magnitude and atrocity that it cannot be dealt with successfully by any government alone. They also agreed to continue their deliberations on the issues relating to human trafficking within the framework of the ICAPP Women's Wing.

In particular, at the 1st ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking, the following points were identified as the main objectives for future deliberations on the issue of human trafficking: (1) raising public awareness on seriousness and urgency; (2) mapping trans-border networks of cooperation; and (3) establishing a fast-track punishment system.

The 2nd ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking was held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia during April 28-30, 2015. The workshop was co-hosted by the Cambodian People’s Party and the Funcinpec Party of Cambodia. It was also co-sponsored by the KOICA and the TIKA.

Representatives of sixteen political parties of Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, East Timor, Republic of Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore and Turkey participated in the workshop, together with representatives of fourteen institutions, including the Cambodian government, four U.N. agencies and other international, national and non- governmental organizations as special guests and observers.

At the end of the 2nd workshop, the participants adopted the “Phnom Penh Statement on Human Trafficking,” in which they reconfirmed the seriousness and urgency of the issues relating to human trafficking and called for, in particular, the establishment of active partnerships among governments, international organizations and civil societies not only to prevent human trafficking but also to provide humanitarian, legal and financial assistance to the victims of human trafficking.

At the 3rd Meeting of the ICAPP Women’s Wing, held in Baku, Azerbaijan in September 2015, a new Bureau was elected which was composed of representatives of Nepal and Turkey as Co- chairpersons, and representatives of Azerbaijan, China, Korea, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand as Vice Chairpersons. And at the 6th Bureau Meeting, held on the sidelines of the 3rd Meeting of the ICAPP Women’s Wing, it was agreed to hold one more workshop on human trafficking during the first half of 2016.

Plans for the 3rd ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking

During the ICAPP Special Conference on the Silk Road and the 25th Meeting of the ICAPP Standing Committee, held in Beijing, China in October 2015, the four principal political parties in Pakistan, i.e. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Movement for Justice (PTI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) and Pakistan Muslim League- Quaid-i-Azam (PML-Q), offered to co-host the 3rd workshop in Islamabad during March 11-13 as follows: - Friday, March 11: Arrival of Delegates and Welcoming Reception - Saturday, March 12: Registration for Delegates, Opening Session, and 1st and 2nd Plenary Sessions - Sunday, March 13: 3rd Plenary Session and Closing Session (Adoption of the "Islamabad Statement on Human Trafficking"), and Cultural Program (optional)

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) have also agreed to continue co-sponsoring the workshop.

Participants

As was agreed at the 3rd Bureau Meeting of the ICAPP Women's Wing, representatives of approximately 20-30 principal political parties in Asian countries that are most affected by human trafficking will be invited. Representatives of several governments and experts from international and non-governmental organizations will also be invited.

Outputs

The “Islamabad Statement on Human Trafficking" will be adopted at the end of the workshop. The draft statement will be prepared by the ICAPP Secretariat in consultations with the members of the Bureau of the ICAPP Women's Wing and circulated to participants before the beginning of the 2nd Plenary Session.

In addition, the ICAPP Secretariat will publish the final report, which will include the major presentations and speeches delivered by the participants as well as other relevant documents.

Islamabad Statement on Human Trafficking

We, the leaders and representatives of 20 political parties of Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Palestine and Turkey, participated in the 3rd ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking which was convened in Islamabad, Pakistan, from March 11th to 13th, 2016, and declared human trafficking as a major crime against humanity and reaffirmed our commitment to continue our combat against this most heinous act of violence as we did in the previous two ICAPP Workshops on Human Trafficking held in Kathmandu, Nepal in January 2014 and in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in April 2015.

In particular, we emphasized that human trafficking is a major crime of such magnitude and atrocity that it cannot be dealt with successfully by any stakeholder alone, both state and non- state actor, thus requires a region-wide and multi-stakeholder strategy that builds on both national and international efforts, and recognized the urgent need for the coordinated efforts among all stakeholders to deliver a comprehensive and balanced resolution to this trans-border challenge.

In doing so, we emphasized the need to uphold the principle of humanitarian imperative and rights-based approach at all stages of combating human trafficking and noted that it is of utmost importance to mobilize efforts of all stakeholders to eradicate human trafficking by reducing both the vulnerability of potential victims and the demand for exploitation in all its forms, ensuring adequate protection and support to those who fall victim, and supporting the efficient prosecution of the criminals involved, while respecting the fundamental human rights of all persons.

We also urged all governments and parliaments in the region to bring their national legal frameworks into conformance with, and actively participate in, the relevant international initiatives on human trafficking, not only to provide immediate and necessary assistance and protection, but also correctly punish traffickers and profiteers to eradicate such insidious criminal act.

We, in particular, encouraged all political parties in ICAPP to strengthen their effort through an Action Plan focusing on the following issues, among others, in order to create synergies among all stakeholders in fighting against human trafficking by (1) raising public awareness on seriousness and urgency, (2) mapping trans-border networks of cooperation, and (3) establishing a fast-track punishment system: - Effective data collection, research, and sharing of information, good practices and successful stories; - Awareness-raising activities with the help of the business sector and the media;

- Empowerment of people, especially women and children, who are common targets of trafficking, through education and vocational training; - Effective coordination mechanism among stakeholders to mobilize joint efforts; - Promotion of gender equality and prevention of gender-based discrimination in labor markets; - Promotion of effective rights-based responses and partnerships for joint action among state and non-state stakeholders; - Promotion of legal migration to contribute to the development of origin, transit and destination countries; - Coordination of efforts to enact anti-human trafficking provisions in our respective national criminal codes and impose stringent punitive measures; - Provision of services, including recovery treatment, training and technical assistance, to help victims and survivors reintegrate into society; - Promotion of legal migration of skilled workers across national borders; and - Inclusion of more stringent punitive measures in anti-human trafficking laws.

We appreciated the lead role of the ICAPP Women’s Wing in combating and curbing the scourge of human trafficking by promoting public awareness of this vice in a sustained manner.

We warmly welcomed the passage by the Senate of Pakistan on March 11, 2016 of new legislation raising the punishment and penalties for human trafficking, a welcome coincidence with the 3rd ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking.

Finally, we expressed our most sincere gratitude to four leading political parties in Pakistan, i.e. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Movement for Justice (PTI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-i- Azam (PML-Q), for co-hosting the workshop, and our appreciation to the ICAPP Women's Wing and the ICAPP Secretariat for the successful organization of the event. Furthermore, we gave special thanks to the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) for co-sponsoring the 3rd ICAPP Workshop on Human Trafficking. We also thanked the representatives of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime and the Insan Foundation Trust in Pakistan for their participation and sharing with us their expertise.

Adopted in Islamabad, Pakistan, on March 13th, 2016.

Proposals for the establishment of the Asia-Europe Political Forum (AEPF) (November 2015)

Background

Mr. Chung Eui-yong, Co-Chairman of the Standing Committee and Secretary General of the ICAPP, International Conference of Asian Political Parties, which represents over 360 political parties in 52 countries in Asia, visited the European Parliament (EP) in Brussels during September 22-23, 2015, and had separate meetings with the representatives of the four groups of political parties represented in the European Parliament, i.e. European People’s Party (EPP), Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR), and Alliance of Liberals and Democrats Group (ALDE).

At the meetings, it was agreed to establish regular contacts and promote closer cooperation between the ICAPP and the principal groups of political parties in the EP. In particular, an idea of establishing the “Asia Europe Political Forum (AEPF)” and holding the first meeting of the AEPF in the near future had emerged during the meetings. The representatives of the groups of political parties in the EP responded positively to the idea and agreed to have more detailed discussions on how to further pursue the idea with the ICAPP Secretariat. In this regard, S&D representatives suggested that the Global Progressive Forum (GPF), established within their group, could play a more proactive role in further promoting cooperation with the ICAPP, including the establishment of the AEPF.

The Members of the ICAPP Standing Committee welcomed and endorsed the initiative to establish regular contacts and promote closer cooperation between the ICAPP and the political parties in the EP at their 25th Meeting which was held in Beijing on October 15, 2015. They also requested the ICAPP Secretariat to have more detailed discussions with the representatives of the four principal groups of political parties in the EP with a view to holding the first meeting of the AEPF in the near future.

Proposal on the Establishment of “Silk Road Exchange and Cooperation Center for Political Parties” by the Communist Party of China (April 2016)

In October 2015, the Asian Political Parties' Special Conference on the Silk Road was successfully held in Beijing, where political parties and representatives of various sectors from countries along the Silk Road had heated discussion on reviving the Silk Road, and adopted the Beijing Initiative, which proposed the establishment of a “Silk Road Exchange and Cooperation Center for Political Parties”. All parties expressed their readiness to work together on building the “Belt and Road”, which would help reinvigorate the ancient Silk Road and promote common development in countries along it.

Political parties play very vital roles in the political, economic and social life of our countries. The Communist Party of China is willing to go with the aspirations of all parties, and take the initiative in setting up the “Silk Road Exchange and Cooperation Center for Political Parties”, with the aim of enhancing exchange of ideas and playing a positive part in guiding regional development and cooperation through the party-to-party channel. After consulting with a number of ICAPP Standing Committee members with regard to the activities and operation mode of the “Silk Road Exchange and Cooperation Center for Political Parties”, the Communist Party of China has primarily formed the following plans:

1. On the activities of the Center:

Activities will be open to all political parties along the Silk Road, in a bid to facilitate exchange of ideas, enhance mutual learning on experience and best practices of development, promote communication on public opinions, and push forward concrete cooperation where feasible and desirable. In terms of operation mode, the Center, on the one hand, is to carry out relevant activities supporting the ICAPP General Assemblies and Special Conferences, so as to enrich party-to-party exchanges. On the other hand, the Center will also hold special seminars and promotion events on certain topics and programs, in an effort to yield tangible results.

2. On the organizational structure of the Center:

We propose that a Council be built based on well-balanced consideration of regional representation, and leaders of major political parties from key countries along the Silk Road be invited to sit on the Council. The position of Secretary-General of the Center would be held by a leading official of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, who undertakes to direct the work of the Secretariat of the Center.

3. On activities of the Center in the near future:

It is planned that the Council would meet for the first time within the year. The Center will organize activities in support of the 9th General Assembly of the ICAPP. The Center will keep in touch with the ICAPP Secretariat on the specifics of the said activities.
