Human rights in Asia: towards a new regional system of human rights protection

English

Human rights in Asia: towards a new regional system of human rights protection

This paper argues that a regional human rights system in Asia is indispensable for the protection of human rights in the region, and analyses the process of its realization. First, it presents the current international law avenues for human rights protection in Asia, and evaluates their efficiency. Then, it enumerates the former attempts for the crystallisation of human rights norms and the creation of regional mechanisms in Asia, drawing particular emphasis on the ASEAN human rights system, which is the most developed and significant one among the aforementioned attempts. Following that, it depicts the challenges faced in terms of the creation of a regional human rights system in Asia, arguing that these challenges can indeed be surpassed, and answers the question of why such a regional mechanism is so beneficial for the Asian region. Finally, it includes a comparative analysis between the currently established systems in other regions, indicating the lessons learned for Asia and it also responds to the question of whether an effective regional human rights mechanism in Asia is a feasible goal, by showing the prospect of such an objective, particularly focusing on some recent positive developments, that give hope regarding the future of the Asian human rights system.
