SG Human Rights
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promised to
include provisions for a human rights mechanism in the charter
which will be signed at the summit on 21 November 2007.
But then ASEAN has always made the right noises about respecting
human rights but have done little to ensure their protection.
We have an opportunity to send a strong and unmistakable message to
the ASEAN governments that we want to see concrete steps taken to
promote human rights in our part of the world. SG Human Rights is
organising a public forum to raise and discuss human rights
issues.
This forum is one of our avenues to make a stand against the
Burmese Junta and affirm our solidarity with the Burmese people in
condemning the regime for its murderous assault on its
citizens.
Human rights advocates from the region have been invited to speak
at the forum, amongst other activities. Whether you are
Singaporean, Burmese, ASEAN nationals or friends from around the
world, you are invited. So make sure you keep the day free and make
your way down to Quality Hotel at Balestier Road. Spread the
message.
