Rightful leader or none of your business?

The question of Ang San Suu Kyi has risen to the top of the agenda during the afternoon negotiations. Several delegations stresses her central role in the political opposition in Myanmar, and that a meaningful democratic political development can not be taken seriously unless she is released. It is also stressed that the release of Ang San Suu Kyi i necessary for the national reconciliation of Myanmar. Others, mainly the delegations most critical of sanctions against Myanmar, claims that the demand of the release of an individual prisoner is intrusive on the internal affairs of Myanmar and too interventionist, and also not important from the perspective of international peace and security. Some also claims that the work of professor Gambari recently have led to positive developments in Myanmar.
