I am delighted to have this opportunity to talk about "human rights in Asia. “Let me begin with a question. When we say "human rights in Asia,"are we simply interested in the human rights situation in each of the several countries, or do we assume that there is something unique and peculiar about Asia when it comes to the human rights question? Needless to say, we are and we should be interested in the present state of human rights-in Asia as in other regions. In fact, we have dwelt a great deal on that subject even in the course of this conference and no doubt we will hear more about it. I do not have much more to add to what has already been discussed on that subject.
