Summary
Australia's Framework for Law and Justice Engagement with the Pacific sets out priorities and principles to guide Australia's future engagement in the Pacific law and justice sector.
Description
On 15 June 2010, the Attorney-General, the Hon Robert McClelland MP and the Parliamentary Secretary for International Development Assistance, the Hon Bob McMullan MP, launched Australia's Framework for Law and Justice Engagement with the Pacific.
The Framework provides a high-level statement of priorities and principles to guide Australia's future engagement in the Pacific law and justice sector.
The Framework affirms Australia's commitment to a stable, peaceful and prosperous Pacific region, and details Australia's response to the law and justice challenges faced by the region.
Through the Framework, Australia will focus its engagement on law and justice measures that enhance regional security and stability, and the rule of law to assist our Pacific partners to reach the Millennium Development Goals.
The Framework is designed to ensure close consultation with our Pacific neighbours and will enable flexible responses to be applied that take into account their specific priorities and legal contexts.
Recognising coordination as a central element of aid effectiveness, the Framework will be supplemented by practical mechanisms to improve coordination of Australia's law and justice activities and involvement in the Pacific.
