Purposes and Principles of ASEANUnder Article 1 - PurposesPoint 3.To preserve Southeast Asia as a Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone and free of allother weapons of mass destruction.
In the short future surprises within the region similar to the threats NorthKorea has been delivering to the world. The Generals keep reporting toUN and to ASEAN the opposite to their not so “honest” activities such,purchasing weapons, working secretly with North Korean technicians invarious over-sensitive areas with the purpose to store weapons, nuclear,and any other military equipment. Russia’s relationship providingcontinuous training to Burmese elite military in the areas of: technologyand “harm-less” nuclears.
Point 4To ensure that the peoples and Member States of ASEAN live in peace withthe world at large in a just, democratic and harmonious environment.
Since the Saffron Revolution in September 2007, the region has observedan increment of illegal displaced people due to the Burmese junta burningof villages, confiscating land, extortion, forced recruitment, rape onminors, ethnic killings and many other human rights abuses. The region areas such as Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Indonesia evenhere in Australia we are forced to house illegal immigration generated bythe inefficient governance of the Burmese regime.Bangladesh is forcing the illegal refugees back into the Burmese borderwithout a care that illegal/refugees would be wiped out by the Burmesearmy patrolling the areas. Of course “diplomatic cooperation” is beingpractice between neighbouring countries, “send them back we will killthem as soon they cross the border”.Rohingyas have been stripped off their right to nationality even thoughthey have rights to be treated as Burmese nationals but the junta do notwant to recognize Rohingyas and force them into poverty, lack of education, forbidden to marry, forbidden to travel, forbidden to work,forbidden to register their births. Rohingyas are causing instability withinthe borders, harmony at the borders is tense, neithercountry wants them.What to do with them?…
Point 6To alleviate poverty and narrow the development gap within ASEANthrough mutual assistance and cooperation
 
As the above point, people are becoming illegal immigrants and orrefugees, running away from slavery, in the case of the Rohingyas, theyare exploited or disposed of like match sticks. It has been observedduring the cyclone Nargis, the junta refused to offer assistance to its ownpeople their referendum was shown as more important.It has been observed the misappropriation of the international aid by juntaofficials; some at high rank others at distribution rank.It has been observed the income generated by the junta from the sale of  Jade/Gems and from the gas/oil business is not enough to cover poverty,health crisis, HIV/Aids, lack or bad education for the lower class known asBurmese. Non-Burmans do not deserve education under the presentBurmese regime.It has been observed the lifestyle of the military at rank above Captains, ithas been observed the facilities and benefits the Burmanelite enjoycompared to the lower class of citizens. Where does the cooperation gointo? Straight into the military pockets, and making sure the militarykeeps growing fat and lazy as there is a new breed of people to producefor the military, they are called “slaves” coming from the non-Burmanclasses.
Point 7To strengthen democracy, enhance good governance and the rule of law,and to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, withdue regard to the rights and responsibilities of the Member States of  ASEAN
To strengthen democracy
Unless the citizens practice yes sir, no sir, democracy will be practicedbehind prison bars in solitary and or under torturing interrogations.
To enhance good governance
 This is a tricky one, the bookkeepers are good painting the revenues, theledgers are hardly filled or disguised. The bookkeepers have no idea howto balance the cheque books, the distribution of revenue goes into onesingle area and that is called; “military personnel and military equipment.“give us the money, we will distribute it” said one of the Ministers duringthe cyclone Nargis last year. They even managed to keep some millionsof US$ cyclone aid during the conversion into local currency and they areno accountable for that theft.
To enhance or practice the RULE OF LAW
Volunteers during the cyclone Nargis are doing long term prison for beinghumane.Lawyers are threatened for interfering with the law for defending
 
democracy activists.Democracy activists are being imprisoned for long terms under falsecharges, created by the junta to make the activists or the like as criminals.Suu Kyi is facing trials under false and ridicule charges, the charges she isfacing should be applied to the ones that failed to perform their dutyinstead, Suu Kyi is an activist therefore she has been charged under falsecrimes invented by the soon to be “democratic military regime”.For the reason of being friendly with a NLD or democrat the junta will“amend” the law to fit with their imaginative charges. There are no Political Prisoners in Burma because all are sentenced forbreach of any created crime by the junta the best sample is Suu Kyi. The rural areas are worse as the junta authorities take the law in their ownhands by extortion, slavery, forced recruitment etc, poor farmers have topay for the soldiers weddings and the commander of the troop allocateshow much each person is to “contribute as a compulsory gift”.Indeed the Rule of Law is being enhanced and practiced by the presentand the future Burmese government.
To promote and protect Human Rights
Favourite words for the Than Shweregime. Human rights exist for the“yes sir, no sir” troops. Even if they have not suffered any mal-doing theyare protected by Human Rights, for example, soldier rapists are protectedunder Human rights by the army, they cannot be touchedthey cannot beimprisoned. Soldiers harmed by landmines, if they enjoy military ranks,they deserve healthcare and government support, but if the soldier is alower rank, the soldier is kicked out of the army and the poor person hasto become a beggar selling books around Rangoon hoping to earn hisdollar to support his children.
To promote fundamental freedoms
Oh that is freedom for the military wives to go shopping to Singapore or Thailand. Freedom for the military children, the elite children to go abroadon false passports to obtain a better education and better lives abroad.
Point 10To develop human resources through closer cooperation in education and life-long learning, and in science and technology, for the empowerment of the peoples of ASEAN and for the strengthening of the ASEAN community.
Education is for the high rank military children and for the wealthy elitewho can afford such privilege. Presently the military receive training inRussia in technology, or any different areas the military might need like;building tunnels, electronics, aero-mechanics etc.
