Organizer: Center for Southeast Asian Studies, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Type/Location: Virtual

Description:

This session explores ASEAN’s interrelationships across membership, conflict management, and human rights protection. It spotlights the Association’s dispute-resolution and human-rights mechanisms for both domestic rights concerns within member states and conflicts between members. We will consider ASEAN’s long-standing non-interference norm alongside the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) to assess how these frameworks are applied in practice—to member governments and to their citizens.

Speakers:

• Aarie Glas — Associate Professor, Northern Illinois University

• Daniel Awigra — ASEAN Human Rights Advocacy of the Human Rights Working Group

• Sirada Khemanitthathai — Lecturer, School of International Affairs, Chiang Mai University

• Gillian Bogart (moderator) — Assistant Professor, Department of Asian Studies, UH Mānoa
