Nusa Dua,
Bali (ANTARA News) - The ASEAN stance is urged to be bolder and firmer in
facing the domination of economic capitalism in the economy which benefits only
small groups
"We
are committed and called on ASEAN member countries to uphold the sovereignty of
its people and political attitudes in the face of the domination of capitalism
monopoly," said NGOs signing a Joint Declaration on "Building
Sovereign Regionalism" spokesman Riza Damanik, here Saturday.
Riza said
that the declaration which was signed by around 40 NGOs rejects all forms of
exploitation both in the social, economic, political, and cultural, including
free trade sectors.
NGOs also
rejected regionalism that is not based on the people`s sovereignty while single
market integration is unconstitutional, as it has been sued by several parties
in the process of judicial review of Law No. 38/2008 on the Ratification of the
ASEAN Charter.
"We
uphold the rule of democracy and political unity, for the sake of upholding the
people`s economy, from and for the people," he said.
He also
explained that various mining corporations of the United States, Europe,
Thailand and other countries have been scraping Indonesia`s natural wealth,
even in the oil and gas on the sea bed.
There are
42 identified Indonesian islands and will be under threat of disaster from
mining activities until October 2011, he said.
In the
fishery sector, until April 2011 40 of 79 are imported fishery products, and 40
fishery products are found in Indonesia.
"As a
result, an attack of imported fishery food products has a direct affected the
economy of the fishermen, as well as worsening fishery food for domestic
consumption," he said.
The joint
declaration also called on ensure productive agrarian redistribution sources
among ASEAN Countries, resolve border conflicts between and among ASEAN member
countries with non-intervention principle, uphold peace and solidarity among
nations.
In
addition, ASEAN countries leaders are also urged to make a compensation for the
recognition of ecological debt and climate debt by the developed countries,
ensuring the region free of military bases and intervention of the U.S. and its
allies, and protect the people from education capitalization interventions.
