Bali Declaration 2017





Bali Declaration 2017


The Background

India's refusal to sign the Bali Declaration 2017 made news, coming in the backdrop of the ongoing crisis of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar. We take a look at the issue in totality.

In September 2015, a new set of development goals that succeed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been declared by the world leaders in UN Headquarter, New York. The SDGs are people-centered development goals built under the direction of the sustainable development dimensions. All with the pledge to set a better change to the world, to everyone and leaving no one behind.

These SDGs consist of 17 goals and 169 targets and are available here 

Since SDGs are being regarded as the highest form of political commitment of the UN member states, it is very well expected that they will have an impact that touches the life of society as a whole. Parliament, as the representative of the society has critical roles in determining the success of the SDGs. Parliament is the political institution within national arena which will provide necessary actions to support the SDGs. Parliament is the one that translate the SDGs into enforceable laws, hold the government into account, budget the national money in line to the SDGs and the national development plan. In addition, parliament ensures the national ownership of the development agenda, and by boosting an active involvement of the parliament in the SDGs, the accountability of development funds will be checked.

As enshrined in the outcome document entitled "Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", the roles of parliament were finally recognized in important aspects such as the implementation (paragraph 45), regular review on the implementation of the SDGs (paragraph 79) and also the comprehensive involvement of parliaments (paragraph 52). The recognition of the parliament role in the sustainable development goals has provided a new momentum for members of the parliament alongside the government and other stakeholders to succeed the sustainable development goals; which righteously not different from the national development trajectory.

In order to provide a full range of comprehensive perspectives to the parliament in terms of implementation of SDGs, the Indonesian House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia initiates a global parliamentary forum on sustainable development that will expected to meet regularly in order to develop the global SDGs accountability, examine the SDGs progress at the national and international levels, strengthen and assess the role that each parliament play. The Forum will carry out the vision to facilitate the sharing of policy analysis, experience, best practices from cross-country and cross-sectors, discuss preparedness and also deepen the understanding of parliament in each country of SDGs.

By emphasizing on the theme “Achieving the 2030 Agenda through Inclusive Development”, the first World Parliamentary Forum on Sustainable Development will emphasize the dedicated true meaning of SDGs: for the people.

 What is India’s stand on Rohingyas and Myanmar?

The Indian delegation maintained that it was inappropriate and unjustified to refer to the Myanmar violence in particular. This is because the forum is focused on the Sustainable Development Goals of all countries.

“This was in view of the fact that the declaration, which was to be adopted at the conclusion of the forum, was not in line with the agreed global principles of ‘sustainable development,’” the Lok Sabha Secretariat said. The delegation said it was unjustified to refer to a crisis in one country as the conclave was focused on the Sustainable Development Goals of all.

Reason for India’s stand

 This meeting was conducted one day after PM Modi had talks with Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi where he assured her that India shared her concerns about extremist violence going on in Rakhine state of Myanmar, referring to the exodus of 1,25,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing out of the country and the associated violence. He told her that he understood the challenges and praised her leadership of Myanmar’s peace process.

India repeatedly maintained its stance that the purpose of convening the parliamentary forum was to arrive at a common consensus for the implementation of SDGs which calls for inclusive and broad-based development processes.

The proposed reference to the violence in Rakhine State in the declaration was considered as not consensus-based and inappropriate as it went against the principles of inclusive growth and development.

India sensed that the conclusion of the meeting, was not in line with the agreed global principles of ‘sustainable development’.
