SUMMARY:Regional Disaster Law Forum Southeast Asia | June 2015 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Over 60 representatives gathered in Bangkok at the ‘Regional Disaster Law Forum for Southeast Asia’ on 10-11 June 2015.  These included National Society leaders and technical staff\, NDMOs\, ministries of foreign affairs\, parliamentarians\, United Nations organizations\, NGOs and the ASEAN secretariat. \nThe Forum discussed disaster law developments at the national\, regional and international levels. This included a ‘stocktaking’ of national disaster law developments (including where states and national societies have worked together to develop or review disaster management laws and regulations); enhancing engagement with ASEAN and preparation for the post-2015 AADMER work programme; developing a regional disaster law advisory group; and discussion of key disaster law themes and pledges coming before the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in December 2015. \nThe objectives of the Forum focus on three levels: \n1. Disaster law at the national level \n\n\nDiscuss progress at the country level: strengths\, gaps\, support required.\nHighlight the role of the Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies as auxiliary to government in the humanitarian sector\, and as the ‘community voice’ in national law and policy making processes.\nShare experiences between South-East Asian nations\, and how National Societies and governments have worked/are working in partnership to strengthen disaster laws.\nIdentify what more can be done at the national level.\n\n\n2. Disaster law at the regional level \n\n\nHighlight National Societies’ and IFRC’s contribution to the implementation of AADMER through disaster law initiatives.\nDiscuss the notion of a rules-based ASEAN (post 2015)\, as envisioned by ASEAN leaders: what does tihs mean in the context of disaster law and disaster management?\nIdentify how the Red Cross Red Crescent can work better with ASEAN to promote and support the development/implementation of disaster laws (including at the operational\, policy and strategic levels) and discuss how this can be reflected in the new AADMER work programme.\nDiscuss the idea of establishing a regional disaster law ‘ advisory group’ for South East Asia. See the proposed draft concept note.\n\n\n3. Disaster law at the international level \n\n\nConsider the recent international commitments contained in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (which include legislating for DRR and utilizing the IDRL Guidelines) and discuss how to implement this at the national level.\nDiscuss progress on implementing the South-East Asia Disaster Law pledge that was signed at the International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in 2011.\nDevelop ideas for a new regional pledge (NS and government) at the upcoming 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent in December 2015.\nCompare national\, regional and international approaches: has enough progress been made? Is there a a need for stronger international mechanisms for disaster law (e.g. international binding agreement)?\nLooking forward to the World Humanitarian Summit\, discus links between disaster law\, legal frameworks and humanitarian effectiveness.\n\n\n  \n \nThe outcomes of the Forum demonstrated how Southeast Asia is a leader when it comes to developing national disaster laws\, and the important role National Societies have to play as the bridge between the community/local level and national level law and policy making processes. An article about the Forum and disaster law developments in southeast Asia was featured in the Bangkok Post on the opening day of this event (see the news link)\, and a formal report and recommendations were prepared (see the resources below). \nGroup Session: Participants from Thailand and Vietnam \n  \n  \nBelow are all the resources from the Forum: \n \n  \n  \nFinal Report of the Regional Disaster Law Forum | South-East Asia 2015 \n  \n  \n  \nClick to see the concept note\, agenda and participant List. \nCountry snapshots of disaster law development as of June 2015: Brunei\, Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Lao PDR\, Malaysia\, Myanmar\, Philippines\, Singapore\, Thailand\, Timor Leste\, Vietnam. \nRelevant documents in preparation of 32nd International RCRC Conference 2015: \n\n\nPresentation: overview of 32nd International Conference\nIntroduction to the elements of the Disaster Law Resolution\nPledge guidelines\nPledge Options of Disaster law at the 32nd International Conference\nReporting questionnaire for National Societies and Reporting questionnaire for States\nSouth-East Asia Disaster Laws pledge 2011\nDisaster Laws Resolution adopted in 2011 (31IC/11/R7)\n\n\nPower Point materials: \n\n\nIntroduction to disaster law\, developments in South-East Asia and moving forward to the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross Red Crescent by Lucia Cipullo\, IFRC.\nDisaster Law at the regional level: Engaging with ASEAN by Miguel Musngi\, ASEAN Secretariat.\nCreating a regional disaster law advisory group by Lucia Cipullo\, IFRC.
