The RSO has launched a new website, supporting access to information on RSO programmatic areas, resources and capability development support, and to invite ongoing engagement with the RSO.
The website provides a complementary resource to the refreshed Bali Process website—which was launched in April 2023 to enable more effective engagement and collaboration between Member States, the Bali Process Working Groups and the RSO.
The RSO website is aimed at those working in law enforcement, border and immigration management, maritime agencies, policy makers and wider practitioners in countering trafficking in persons and people smuggling—whose work progresses objectives set out by Bali Process Members and Working Groups.
As the practical arm of the Bali Process, the RSO provides technical support to Bali Process Members to strengthen cooperation on refugee protection and international migration, including trafficking in persons, people smuggling and related transnational crime. This includes a regular programme of training activities, events, workshops and roundtables, designed to support Member States to stay ahead of new and emerging issues and to work collaboratively to develop responses and solutions.
The website gives an overview of RSO thematic areas—countering trafficking in persons, countering people smuggling, transnational crime, and irregular migration and regional priorities—and includes easy access to RSO team profiles and structure, governance and capability, Bali Process and RSO publications and core RSO documents.
A new RSO calendar will support visibility of upcoming events and activities, and opportunities for engagement with the RSO, including the RSO secondment programme and networks which include the RSO Alumni Network and the Regional Information, Liaison and Outreach Network (RILON Initiative). The website includes a form where Bali Process members and wider regional actors are encouraged to submit proposals and ideas for collaboration with the RSO.
Visitors to the site will also be able to easily access Bali Process and RSO resources and publications, RSO reports and strategic documents, RSO news and staff profiles.
The RSO welcomes feedback on how this website can best support users. If you have any comments or queries about the new website, please contact info@rso.baliprocess.net
