Somchai Homlaor

Somchai Homlaor "is secretary general of the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (Forum-Asia). Forum-Asia was launched in December 1991 to facilitate collaboration among human rights organizations in Asia and develop a regional response for the promotion of human rights and democracy in the region. Collaboration among members of Forum-Asia is based on the understanding that human rights and fundamental freedoms are indivisible and interdependent. They include not only civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights but also the rights of peoples to pursue freely their economic, social and cultural development."
