ASEAN signs landmark charter
AP, Singapore
Southeast Asian leaders adopted Tuesday a landmark charter to integrate the region as a legal organization bound by one set of rules for its 10 members.
The charter also calls for a new agency to review human rights among the countries forming the 40-year-old Association of Southeast Asian Nations. But the document gives the body no powers to punish violators - an apparent diplomatic victory for military-ruled Myanmar.
Earlier the annual summit of Southeast Asian leaders opened Tuesday amid contentious debate over human rights in Myanmar and questions about whether a landmark regional charter could be ratified before the isolated military-led country embraces democracy and releases political detainees.n. V
