#Burma - US-ASEAN join statement issued on Sunday was disappointing, not only it failed to mention Aung San Suu Kyi release but also said that "The general elections to be held in Myanmar[Burma] in 2010 must be conducted in a free, fair, inclusive and transparent manner in order to be credible to the international comm...unity". This is a dicey and harmful call without mentioning the needs to revise junta’s “2008 Nargis Constitution”, which is deliberately designed to legalize and prolong the military rule in Burma (www.ictj.org/static/Asia/Burma/ICTJ_MMR _Impunity2008Constitution_pb2009.pdf).
