Conference Aims: The Asia Regional Conference aims to examine key issues in the Asia region (including northeast, southeast and South Asia as well as the Pacific Islands). Among the topics to be explored are regional security issues including US bases, Korean reunification, a nuclear-free Asia, the "war on terror", ballistic missile defence, redress and reconciliation issues, revision of Article 9 (peace clause in Japan's constitution), and others. We hope to attract anti-war activists from Asia and the Pacific Islands as well as local activists with an interest in the topics we are addressing. |
