The\&nbsp;Biketawa Declaration (2000)\&nbsp;outlines guiding principles for good governance and courses of action for a regional response to crises in the region.\&nbsp;
The Biketawa Declaration also commits Forum members to some key fundamental values including, among others, a {\textquotedblleft}belief in the liberty of the individual under the law, in equal rights for all citizens regardless of gender, race, colour, creed or political belief{\textquotedblright} and to {\textquotedblleft}upholding democratic processes and institutions which reflect national and local circumstances, including the peaceful transfer of power{\textquotedblright}.
The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI, 2003) and the Pacific Regional Assistance to Nauru (PRAN, 2004) are key Pacific Island Forum initiatives sponsored under the auspices of the Biketawa Declaration.
The most recent use of the Biketawa Declaration was on 2nd May 2009, when the Leaders{\textquoteright} Port Moresby Decisions automatically came into force with the imposition of targeted measures against the Fiji military regime.
