On June 22-23, 2012, the ASEAN Inter-Governmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) consulted civil society organizations from the 10 ASEAN Member-State to comment on and provide recommendations for the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD).

The statement initiated by LGBT activists in the ASEAN region as endorsed not only by LGBT groups but by human rights and women's rights groups across the region can be downloaded by clicking the link at the foot of this page..

We hope that the AICHR will see the merits provided by the statement and include SOGI in the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration in November 2012.
