ASEAN Charter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ASEAN Charter is a proposed constitution for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The intention to draft the constitution was formally tabled at the 11th ASEAN Summit held in December 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ten ASEAN leaders, one each from each member state, called the ASEAN Eminent Persons Group has been assigned to produce a draft of the charter.
In the 12th ASEAN Summit held in January 2007 in Cebu, the Philippines, several basic proposals were made public. One of the proposals includes the removal of non-interference policy that is central to the regional group since its formation in the 1960s.
