A/HRC/23/45 34. A series of institutions are to be created, including the African Observatory on Science, Technology and Innovation and the Pan-African Intellectual Property Organization. Measures to be taken include the strengthening of the coordination of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change, in particular with respect to Africa’s preparation for the nineteenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the ninth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. A proposal for the establishment of an international constitutional court will also be examined by the African Union Commission on International Law. A proposal made by Guinea relating to the creation of a South-South and triangular coalition in support of Africa post-2015 was approved in principle. The Assembly also requested the African Union Commission to take the necessary steps towards the integration of the New AsianAfrican Strategic Partnership into the African Union structures and processes. The new Partnership was created on the fiftieth anniversary of the first Asia-Africa Conference, also known as the Bandung Conference, held in 1955 in Indonesia and considered to be the birthplace of South-South solidarity. C. Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States 35. The first Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States was held in Santiago from 27 to 28 January 2013.8 This historic summit, convened for the integration of the 33 countries of the region towards achieving progress in political, economic, social and cultural unity, is an example of good practice in international solidarity. The Santiago Declaration states that the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) is aimed at strengthening complementarity and avoiding duplication between integration mechanisms in the region, as their interaction, based on the principle of solidarity and cooperation, is essential for consolidation of the Community. It also reaffirmed the commitment to mutually beneficial integration, solidarity and cooperation among the members of the Community, in particular for countries that are less developed. 36. A meeting between CELAC and the European Union was also convened in Santiago, on 26 and 27 January 2013, to renew and deepen the bi-regional strategic partnership, with the theme: ―Alliance for sustainable development: promoting investments of social and environmental quality‖. Building upon past European Union–Latin American and the Caribbean summits, confidence was expressed that the new approach would result in a balanced, efficient, constructive and symmetrical relationship with complementarity and solidarity between the two regions.9 37.
