the Running of Human Rights Condition Over South East Asia Nations

Dear All,

I am so sorry for cannot presents many of new postings that I write recently, because of the lack of available time that I belong here to do this. I also want to rearrange my schedule to make an effective moment for continue my blogging activities. I really want my blogging activities can back again like in the past time...

Back to the my posting, after reading the article that I have read one week ago from Kompas newspaper, I become aware about the growth and development of human rights in South East Asia. That Article mentions that ASEAN: an area that oppress its society. Well this article is written in accordance with the discovery and emerging of many violence cases and harassment among its people in many of ASEAN nations.

In the 14th High Level Conference of ASEAN in Thailand, there is a important issue concerning to the human rights condition in ASEAN. As a host of this conference, Thai prime minister assert that ASEAN has a great potention in the economy issue, and put its concern in this economic area. But, the condition of human rights is become worst and become problem which scatter among ASEAn nations. To reduce its problem, ASEAN takes a big action by making an institution which focusing to the growth of human rights in ASEAN area. While, Thai prime minister also added that the creation of ASEAN human rights institution in this year is the first in this area, and would become a great achievement to that direction.

This institution's creation is a critical for the human rights condition which is worse and worse in that area, although in the meeting of the conference there are some problems against its creation, like the weakneess of framework, and trouble between leaders. But, as a process it has showed a great effort as long as 42 years before. There are an agreement to institusionalized which essentialy means there are meeting that will be held every year and better procedure.It is also realized the people about the human rights problem among them and make ASEAN do not oppress their citizens again.
