PIF and SAARC: path to establish regional human rights mechanisms
Despite weak by design, the establishment of AICHR inspires the rest of sub-regions like Pacific Islands and South Asia to establish the regional human rights mechanisms too. We do hope that they can take bolder steps on creating the human rights regime.
HRWG has been invited to number of workshops in both the Pacific and South Asia to contribute the experiences of civil society in engaging ASEAN and AICHR (before and after the establishment) and share lesson learnt dealing with ASEAN countries' international relations and politics.
