Political stability papers - Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:08:00 +0000

Legislation to facilitate (some would say create) political stability in Solomon Islands has been discussed on several occasions since mid 2008. These discussions have come to fruition in form this week, in the form of a white paper tabled by the SI PM. Dr Sikua - "Policies for development of political party system and governance reform in Solomon Islands".

This posting is supposed to provide a quick guide to some of the major documents available online regarding this process beginning last year. It is not complete, but a second posting should fill in some of the major gaps. Suggestions welcome!

March 2009 - CNURA White paper tabled in SI Parliament

February 2009 - Lowy Institute Perspective -Engineering Political Stability in Solomon Islands

November 2008 - Sir Peter Kenilorea - Realising political stability in Solomon Islands

SI dolphin status report

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:13:00 +0000

Since 2003 when live dolphin exports began from Solomon Islands, the subject has attracted considerable attention and controversy for within the country and outside.

Just released is a wew workshop report from IUCN on the likely status of Solomon Islands populations of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) here. The workshop was hosted by SPREP in Apia, Samoa and ran from 21-23 August 2008.

Main points from the report include:

Dolphins should not be removed unless the population is shown to be able to sustain that removal. International principles indicate that wild population removals should not happen until unless The IUCN Global Plan of Action for the Conservation of Cetaceans had stated that as a general principle, small cetaceans should not be captured or removed from a wild population unless that specific population has been assessed and shown capable of sustaining the removals. A principal goal of the present workshop was to elaborate on the elements of an assessment that would meet this standard.
International standards would require a local population to be at least 5-10,000 to be able to support the planned SIG permit level of 100 dolphins exported p.a. It was reported at the workshop that the SIG annual allowable export level of dolphins was being increased to 100 dolphins of any species (from current level of 80), which was most likely to be only T. aduncus. If international standards were applied which permit only 1% or 2% of a population to be removed annually (per IWC, ASCOBANS etc.) then local T. aduncus population would have to be at least 5,000 or 10,000 to sustain the permitted level of exports.
Current observations indicate a population of less than 5,000. Based on the current state of knowledge of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins throughout their range, as well as the information on this species in the Solomon Islands reviewed at the workshop, abundance in the area of recent live-captures appears to be well below 5,000. By the time of the workshop, an ongoing photo-identification study around Guadalcanal Island had catalogued only somewhat more than 100 individuals.
A combination of photographic mark-recapture and genetic analysis techniques are recommended to assess abundance. Population assessment efforts need to be expanded if live-capture activities are to continue. It was concluded that the best approach to assess abundance and delineate populations would be a combination of mark-recapture analyses of photo-identification data and genetic analyses of tissue samples.

Previous reports on the issue include a 2003 report by the IUCN/SSC Cetacean and Veterinary Specialist Groups.

Fukuyama state building reports

Prof Francis Fukuyama was tasked with reporting on issues of statebuilding in the Pacific by the World Bank. In April 2008 he visited Solomon Islands. The following two reports relate wholly or partially to this visit and his observations of the state-building/intervention scene in our region.

LDC reports by UNCTAD

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has just issued its 2008 annual report on Least Developed Countries entitled "Growth, Poverty and the Terms of Development Partnership - The Least Developed Countries Report, 2008

As one of the 6 PIC LDCs (if we include East Timor), the report is highly relevant to Solomon Islands, and provides some useful comparative data and analysis. The statistical annex can be downloaded here (application/pdf Object) while the last few years reports can be accessed here:

SI agriculture survey

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:01:00 +0000

SI smallholder agriculture survey (all pdfs downloads)
From the blurb on the AusAID site:

Eighty-four per cent of people in Solomon Islands live in rural areas. The vast majority of these people derive their livelihoods from subsistence agriculture and small-scale income generating activities, particularly export cash cropping and fresh produce marketing. These five volumes document the development of recommendations for agricultural interventions supporting subsistence agriculture and income-generating activities for rural communities in Solomon Islands.

Vol 1 - Main findings and recommendations

Vol 2 - Subsistence production, livestock and social analysis

Vol 3 - Markets and marketing issues

Vol 4 - Provincial reports

Vol 5 - Literature review - A brief literature assessment of the agriculture sector

RAMSI founding documents

Biketawa Declaration (2000) (pdf)
Signed by Pacific Islands Forum leaders on Biketawa atoll in 2000, this declaration laid down mandate for regional action and was the basis (in regional terms at least) for the RAMSI intervention.

Our Failing Neighbour (2003) (pdf download link)
Published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in June 2003 it is the first public "blueprint" for the RAMSI intervention

International Treaty setting the scope of RAMSI (2003)
A international agreement signed in Townsville on 24 July 2003, on the eve of arrival of the first Australian troops:

The Assisting Countries may deploy a Visiting Contingent of police forces, armed forces and other personnel to Solomon Islands to assist in the provision of security and safety to persons and property; maintain supplies and services essential to the life of the Solomon Islands community; prevent and suppress violence, intimidation and crime; support and develop Solomon Islands institutions; and generally to assist in the maintenance of law and order in Solomon Islands .

Facilitation of International Assistance Act (2003)
The SI legislation establishing the legality of RAMSI within Solomon Islands. Passed only three days before arrival of troops at Honiara's Henderson Airport. It makes provision for a "international assistance notice" and defines the "visiting contingent".
