Nothing About Us, Without Us

The Third Asia Pacific Consultation on Refugee Rights (APCRR3) was held in Bangkok at the Bangkok Rama Hotel from 25 to 27 November 2010. APCRR3 was attended by 117 participants from 22 countries. APCRR3 consolidated the commitment of the members to the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN) to pursue APRRN’s principles in vigorously advancing the rights of refugees in the Asia Pacific region.
APRRN has been building foundations since it was formed in October 2008 at APCRR1. The commitment from members and the Steering Committee remains high and it has a very good reputation internationally amongst civil society groups and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In the coming years the Network will gain in strength on the basis of the work its members perform. The Network has gained tremendous momentum and is being recognized as the face of a movement. It remains the only network of its kind in the world.
