Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Unity in Connectivity? Evolving Human Rights Mechanisms in the ASEAN Region , Vitit Muntarbhorn discusses developments concerning the growth of human rights institutions and processes in the regional space known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Several countries have now set up national human rights commissions. At the regional level, the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights was established recently. This is complemented by a sectoral body dealing with women’s and children’s rights, and another body dealing with migrant workers. Vitit Muntarbhorn analyses these developments from the angle of key challenges facing the region, the need for more checks and balances, and prospects for more effective protection of human rights. This publication has been facilitated by the Ateneo Human Rights Centre of Ateneo de Manila University, the Philippines. |
