This edited collection makes a timely and distinctive contribution to contemporary debates about strengthening the institutional protection of human rights in the Asia-Pacific region, in the wake of ASEAN's announcement in 2009 of an ASEAN regional human rights mechanism.Drawing together leading scholarly voices, the book focuses on the systemic issue of institutionalising human rights protection in the Asia-Pacific. It critically examines the prospects for deepening and widening the institutionalization of human rights monitoring in the region, challenging the orthodox scepticism about whether Asia is "ready" for stronger institutions. The volume analyses the impediments to institutions, whilst questioning the need for them. The collection provides a range of perspectives on the issues and many of the chapters bring a variety of interdisciplinary insights to bear. As such, the collection will be of interest to a scholarly and student audience in law, as well as to readers in international relations, political science, Asian studies, and human rights"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge research in human rights law. 606 $aHuman rights$zAsia 606 $aHuman rights$zPacific Area 606 $aNational human rights institutions$zAsia 606 $aNational human rights institutions$zPacific Area 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aNational human rights institutions 615 0$aNational human rights institutions 676 $a341.4/8095 686 $aLAW000000$aLAW013000$aLAW016000$2bisacsh 701 $aNasu$b Hitoshi$0477788 701 $aSaul$b Ben$0601338 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789562103321 996 $aHuman rights in the Asia-Pacific region$93690130 997 $aUNINA
