".
The Commission follows with interest the attempts by institutions and individuals in ASEAN countries to establish a human rights mechanism. The Commission supports those efforts and other human rights issues through various cooperation programmes in several ASEAN countries. An EC-sponsored ASEAN-wide human rights conference will be held in Manila in 2006.
We are encouraged to note that for the first time an ASEAN summit called for the release of political prisoners in Myanmar. ASEAN leaders also agreed to dispatch the foreign minister of Malaysia, the current chair of ASEAN, to assess the democratic process during a visit.
While those initiatives by ASEAN are positive, we should remain cautious about the prospects of immediate changes in Myanmar and especially about the release of Aung San Suu Kyi."@en1
