A human rights group has urged the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to reject a proposal that effectively allows the Myanmar military junta to continue participating in all but a handful of events held by the 10-country bloc.
In a statement on the eve of Friday’s Asean leaders’ summit in Phnom Penh, Fortify Rights said it had obtained a leaked document that sets out recommendations for dealing with Myanmar. The text proposes that with the exception of the leaders’ summit and foreign ministers’ meetings, it should be business as usual where Myanmar’s participation is concerned.
