The Solidarity for Asian Peoples Advocacy Taskforce on ASEAN Human Rights (SAPA TFAHR) is disappointed that only two country representatives of the ASEAN Inter-governmental Commission for Human Rights (AICHR) responded to our request for a meeting in Jakarta today. The purpose of the requested meeting was to present the civil society proposal for the AICHR’s Rules of Procedures (RoP) as the AICHR meets for the first time to draft the RoP. Representatives of civil society organizations from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand went to the ASEAN Secretariat to present the civil society proposal but were disappointed to be informed that not all the country representatives of the AICHR would be meeting them.
