The APCRR is now over.  Over 110 participants from 70 organizations based in 13 countries in the Asia Pacific region attended the first ever Asia Pacific Consultation on Refugee Rights.  In the concluding plenary on Day 2 of the APCRR, participants resolved to form working groups around a variety of geographic and thematic issues.  It was also resolved to hold a second consultation to measure our progress and to draw in new participants towards the end of 2009 in Thailand.

The slides of the presentations made at the APCRR and rapporteurs' reports from each of the sessions will be posted in the next week on this website under the "Presentations and Rapporteur Reports" section of the website.  Webpages will also be created for each of the thematic and geographical workinggroups.

Congratulations to all participants and to everyone who made the APCRR a success!!  Special thanks to our funders, including UNHCR, AusAid, the High Commission of Canada in Kuala Lumpur, Inter Pares, the Euro-Burma Office, and the International Detention Coalition.
