To a policy more like the liberal and straightforward
policy of ASEAN that differentiates between NGO and for profit uses of the name
that states,
USE OF THE NAME “ASEAN”
The Presidium Minister for Political
Affairs/Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, the Deputy Prime Minister of
Malaysia, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs of Singapore, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand
do hereby declare the establishment of an association for regional cooperation
among the countries of Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). – ASEAN
Declaration,
I. NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
The ASEAN Standing Committee, at its meeting in
The relevant provision states that, an affiliated NGO “may use the name ‘ASEAN’ and display the official ASEAN emblem in correspondence, communications, and at its official meetings so long as the displaying of such emblem is non-commercial in nature.” (NGO Guidelines, section 10.1).
II. PRIVATE SECTOR
The ASEAN Standing Committee, at
its meeting in
Member countries shall exercise some measure of control on the use of the name “ASEAN” by the private sector for business purposes. This administrative control shall be exercised where official registration is required by law for setting up a company, such as a trading company, whether as a corporation or sole proprietorship. Any request for the use of the name “ASEAN” should satisfy the following conditions:
(i) The entity should be regional in character involving all members of ASEAN;
(ii) The name “ASEAN” should not be brought into disrepute by its usage;
(iii) The entity should be indigenous to ASEAN;
(iv) The usage of ASEAN should not have any negative effect on the aims and objectives of ASEAN;
(v) The entity should have the sponsorship of any of the ASEAN National Secretariats.
In conclusion HA considers
the current policy of APEC’ obsessive and compelling compulsive behavior of
undesirable criminal and military enforcement agencies as we have witnessed in
this case and is in need of liberalization.
HA hopes APEC will reconsider its decision to censor in light of ASEAN’s
interpretation and the quality of the section proposed for publication in hopes
that this unpleasant introduction will lead to a long and peaceful relationship
founded upon UN Charter Principles of Equal Rights, Self Determination of
Peoples, Non Use of Force, International Economic Cooperation and the free
exchange of periodical publications intended to support the overall quality and
content of public research however I am quite happy with the privacy granted by
Anita J. Douglas on Valentine’s Day 2006. Perhaps she will be the one to hold the
conference to “de-mine” intellectual property in
