Senior Executive Officers Network
Established in 2002, annual meetings of the APF Senior Executive
Officers (SEO) Network are an opportunity for the senior staff from our
members to discuss emerging human rights themes and share expertise
on organisational policies, management practices and staff development
strategies.
FOSTERING COLLABORATION
THAT LEADS TO ACTION
During the year, APF members reported they
had formed partnerships with each other
to pursue practical outcomes in relation to
business and human rights, abolition of the
death penalty, improved ASEAN regional
cooperation, countering slavery and human
trafficking, and promoting the rights of migrant
workers, refugees and asylum seekers.

In November 2015, the APF held the SEO Roundtable in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. Discussion focused on the role of NHRIs to address human
rights concerns around access to safe water and sanitation. Participants
also shared different approaches to monitoring the implementation and
impact of programs delivered by their NHRIs and exchanged policies in
relation to codes of conduct for Commissioners and staff.
The SEO Roundtable was attended by 12 men and 10 women,
representing all APF members. All participants who completed the
workshop survey (17 of 22) said the meeting was very useful for building
and maintaining relationships.
