Acheh-Sumatra National Liberation Front (ASNLF) Mr Chairman, ASNLF fully supports the 2022 Asia-Pacific Regional Forum Recommendations, especially points number 1 and 3 * that the question of minorities in Asia is connected to the decolonization process and the creation of new, post colonial states. Thus the special status of minorities should be recognized and dealt with relevant existing international norms * that, ”Important gaps in the UNDM that pertain to the normative frameworks used in the UN must be recognised and addressed at all levels. This includes a deeper understanding of certain rights, including the right to self-determination for ‘’minority groups’’. Thank you for your attention. *** Acheh-Sumatra National Liberation Front (ASNLF) PO Box 10 15 26 99805 Eisenach Germany Phone: +49 1577 3431 335 E-mail : info@asnlf.org Website : www.asnlf.org
