@youronlyone 1/2 I agree that it's internally up to ASEAN states to negotiate #ConflictResolution and #TransitionalJustice processes.

But the ABC is primarily intended at an AU audience, not ASEAN. Extermination of 20% of a population [2] is #genocide. *Western* media hiding this genocide by omission while emphasizing the #CambodianGenocide was a key example of quantitative evidence for the Western media #PropagandaModel [4][5].

@youronlyone 2/2 The Wikipedia URLs were just background to anyone following. The fact that there are versions in 4 ASEAN langs is a positive sign of grassroots (non-state) cooperation.

Personally, I'm happy that Timor Leste is joining ASEAN. The EU +other Euro structures are themselves a messy, imperfect, unfinished process - overall positive IMHO, but including some ongoing #CrimesAgainstHumanity [6][7][8].
