1. The Asia-Pacific Centre for Human Rights and the Prevention of Ethnic Conflict is holding a meeting of representatives of regional human rights organizations and research centers in the region in the last quarter of the year (October or November) in Bangkok on the question of electronic media and human rights. The main focus of the meeting is on how to best maximize the electronic media in pursuing human rights work by having an electronic network on human rights documents and activities. One idea is to make electronically available human rights documents translated into several major languages in the region. A review of the existing electronic and computer facilities in the region is part of the agenda of the meeting. A concrete output is the agreement to create an Asia-Pacific Human Rights Electronic Information Network. The Asia-Pacific Centre for Human Rights and the Prevention of Ethnic Conflict is offering to host the network.
