On 3 August 2015, the AICHR met the ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting (AMM) to submit their Annual Report 2015, the Five-Year Work Plan 2016-2020 as well as the AICHR Priority Programmes/Activities 2016 along with its annual budget. The AICHR reported the progress of the works of the AICHR and highlighted the extraordinary circumstances that mark the special occasion to the current reporting period, namely the commencement of the ASEAN Community by the end of 2015, the closure of the implementation of its Five-Year Work Plan 2010-2015 and a milestone change in the composition of the AICHR’s Representatives at the end of 2015. The AMM commended the strong impetus and continued commitment of the AICHR in the promotion and protection of Human Rights in the Region and encouraged the AICHR to further discharge its functions and mandates efficaciously.
