ASEAN HUMAN RIGHTS CHALLENGES: TOWARDS A REGIONAL-BASED SOUTHEAST ASIAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

As the declaration of ASEAN Human Rights Declaration, ASEAN had enabled
new options in its framework of human rights settlement issues in its region. Such
momentum shall be considered as an entry point in transforming long-standing values of
consultative and consensual of ASEAN in dealing with human rights issues in ASEAN.
Such aforementioned values had been assessed their relevance in handling ASEAN
human rights violations which had been unresolved. The application of regional-based
institution by several other regions might be considered as a blueprint for ASEAN court
of human rights in the future.
