Although i suspect that it is aimed at the Burmese who have the most indecent and explicit violations of human rights, this ASEAN human rights Commission is a big joke.
Somehow, I feel that you are over optimistic about this. I don't know, looking back, it would seem that any rights is considered secondary to this gahmen of ours.

Hi Alex,
It seems your comments section to your latest blog on LKY has been hijacked to a phone advertisment.
Was it intentional?

Erm... I can't see any phone advertisment. When I tested it, I could get into a comment section and post a comment myself.

But then again, I might be too pessimistic.
