CNSNEWS -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to sign a non-aggression pact with Southeast Asian nations, committing the United States to “renunciation of the threat or use of force” and to non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs. Those countries include Burma, whose military junta has been targeted by U.S. sanctions since 1997. Other parties to the pact include North Korea, whose nuclear weapons program, missile development and human rights record have been issues of concern for the U.S. for many years. The Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC) to be signed by Clinton Wednesday in Thailand includes a provision that no party shall “in any manner or form participate in any activity which shall constitute a threat to the political and economic stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of another.”
