Institute for Asian Democracy
Founded in 1991 by a group of committed activists and academics, the Institute for Asian Democracy (IAD) seeks to promote human rights and nurture the forces of self-governance in Asia. Supporting research, fact-finding missions, public education, technical assistance, media outreach and advocacy, IAD works to strengthen the rights of Asians to live in a free and just society which adheres to universally accepted norms of political, civil, social and cultural rights. The Institute has endeavored to work primarily for the restoration of democracy in Burma. The Institute also works to facilitate transitions to democracy by nonviolent means and promotes the principles of self-governance, self-determination and the rule of law.
