The Vestric Forum (VF; Veleaz: Fòrum Vestrico, FV.) is an intergovernmental regional organization. The most important decisions of the VF are made by the Assembly of the Vestric Forum, a semi-annual meeting of the heads of state and government of its member states.
The Vestric Forum's purpose is to promote itself as a Vestric coordination mechanism for public policies, in defense of democracy, republicanism, the independence of powers, social liberty, with sustainability and with due application
Overview
At the Fourth Vestric Summit on 8 September 1999, presidents or representatives from various Vestric nations signed the Jutosa Declaration, a two-page statement of intent announcing the foundation of the Vestric Forum.
The primary objectives of the Vestric Forum are the following:
- To promote a peaceful coexistence for the nations of the continent.
- To promote democratic governance and popular political participation.
- To promote and protect human rights to the forum's standards as well as other relevant international bodies.
- To promote the development of the continent to allow it to wield equitable influence in international economic or political matters.
- To promote sustainable and integrated development of Vestric economies.
- To advance the continent's scientific and technological research capacity.
The Vestric Forum is made up of both political and administrative bodies. Ultimately, political decision making power within the Vestric Forum lies with the heads of state of the members of the organisation. The various heads of state of the Forum meet from time to time at the Forum Assembly, in which various issues surrounding the organisation and its member states are discussed. The Forum's representative body is known as the Vestric Parliament, which contains members elected by the national legislatures of the Vestric Forum's member states. Each member state sends a delegation of parliamentarians based on a proportion of their population to the Parliament. The composition of the delegation should reflect the political diversity of the member state's legislature.
