Pan-African Parliament Speakers Conference: Transforming the Pan African Parliament into a Legislative Body
|
|
The Pan-African Parliament is organizing The African Parliament Speakers Conference in Midrand, South Africa, from October 8th and 9th October 2009, to consider the transformation of the Pan African Parliament into a legislative body, the domestication of African Union (AU) Decisions and the advocacy of African Parliamentary Knowledge Network with the different Parliaments in Africa.
Article 18 of the PAP Protocol requires the PAP to work in close co-operation with Parliaments of Regional Economic Communities and the National Parliaments or other deliberative organs of Member States, the Pan-African Parliament is consulting Parliaments in Africa to develop a mechanism to ensure the sound and effective communication and full participation of the peoples of Africa within the integration processes of Africa as is required by Article 3 of the Protocol.
The objective of the Speakers Conference is the formation of a platform for dialogue and contact between the Pan-African Parliament and the National Parliaments of Member States. The conference will endeavor to establish principles which will lead to the development of a framework for the effective domestication of AU policies.
More specifically the Speakers Conference will provide the Pan-African Parliament the forum to: discuss the issue of the transformation of the Pan African Parliament into a legislative body as is required by Article 2(3) of the Protocol which states that “The ultimate aim of the Pan African Parliament shall be to evolve into an institution with full legislative powers, whose members are elected by universal adult suffrage”.
The conference will further seek to agree on the necessary framework for the domestication and dissemination of AU Decisions and Policies; the distribution of information on the activities undertaken by the Pan-African Parliament; and the development of the African Parliament Knowledge Network (APKN) as well as exchange ideas on various modalities that will better ensure that the citizens of Africa are aware of AU Policies and Decisions.
