WORLD BRIEFING / THAILAND
- Share via
Southeast Asian leaders are wrapping up a summit today they hoped would highlight their championship of human rights, but instead suffered a setback when military-ruled Myanmar and Cambodia refused to talk to two pro-democracy activists.
The prominent activists were barred from a meeting on human rights in the region, after the leaders of the two countries threatened to walk out. The activists had been selected as delegates for their countries.
The two-day summit of the 10-nation bloc is to end with a general declaration and a document on the region’s economy and the global financial crisis.
