stakeholders in the region. ASEAN
Community must be driven by people-
oriented, people-centered, and people-
driven.

87. PHNOM PENH STATEMENT with signatures of
ASEAN Leaders, Article 3:
“REAFFIRM further our commitment to ensure that
the implementationof the AHRD be in accordance
with Our commitment with the Charter of the United
Nation, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
The Vienna Declaration and its Prograam of Action,
and other international human rihts instrument to
which ASEAN Members Sttes are parties,as well as
relevant ASEAN declarations and instruments
pertaining to human rights”
88. WEAK PART OF THE DECLARATION:
1. The balance between Rights & Responsibilities. The enjoyment
of human rights and fundamental freedoms must be balanced with
the duties of individuals, the community and the society where one
lives
2. National and Regional particularities. The realisation of human
rights must be considered in the regional and national context …
3. Limitation of Rights. The exercise of human rights and
fundamental freedoms shall be subject only to such limitations …
and to meet the just requirements of national security, public
order, public health, public safety, public morality, …
4. Erasure of Freedom of Association
89. Article 9: …. The process of such realisation shall take into
account peoples’ participation, inclusivity and the need for
accountability.
Article 22: ... All forms of intolerance, discrimination and
incitement of hatred based on religion and beliefs shall be
eliminated.
Article 27 (3) …Those who employ children and young
people in work harmful to their morals or health, dangerous
to life, or likely to hamper their normal development,
including their education should be punished by law.
Article 36: …ASEAN Member States should adopt
meaningful people-oriented and gender responsive
development programmes aimed at poverty alleviation
Total erasure on the section on duties and responsibilities
90. The content of AHRD is a reflection of difficult negotiation
between two extreme position on human rights and
democracy in ASEAN
AHRD starts with REAFFIRMATION of state’s
international obligation to human rights, and ends with the
recognition of non-derogable rights. But the general
principles of AHRD are not inline with international
human rights standards.
The process had been closed for civil society. Two
consultations with CSOs were conducted and two
consultations with ASEAN sectoral bodies without sharing
the working draft
Public only know the final draft after the adoption, Nov 18,
2012
92. AHRD is a political document with the context of democratic
deficits in ASEAN
The challenge is now how to make AHRD promote reform in
domestic politics & how to use AHRD to make ASEAN function
as a ruled-based organization
We should not be idealistically naive, but rather more tactical
and strategic when dealing with ASEAN. We know how the game
is played or unfairly played, so let us play it well
Let us look at the declaration as a means to an end, a living
evolving document.
Many international law and standards including in the field of
human rights continue to expand with time as cultural norms
evolved. New demands would be made for legal instrument to
keep up with the development
93. ACCOUNTABILITY EXERCISE:
We are of the opinion that AICHR should not rush to draft
any convention on human rights. Not now, maybe in next 10-
115 years
Annual Report on Human Rights in ASEAN
Put all mandates of AICHR, especially Article 4.10 of AICHR
to obtain information from Member States into reality by
using AHRD
Put Mandate Article 4.Monitor ASEAN Ministerial Meeting
proceeding to what extent AHRD has been used to bring
human rights issues on the table (using its Joint
Communique)
Review TOR AICHR in 2014
94. It is the time when we can work together to make
AICHR as an INDEPENDENT HUMAN RIGHTS
MECHANISM by changing the selection process of
AICHR
To make AICHR accessible by pushing the body to
finalize a democratic guideline on engaging civil
society, including receiving complaints on human
rights and sharing information topublic
To make AICHR a responsive body by changing its
mandate to be be able to respond the issues by having
a fact-finding mission, investigation

97. Objective of the Review: to strengthen the mandate and
functions of the AICHR in order to further develop mechanisms
on both the protection and promotion of human rights.
Indicator 1: Has AICHR provide an ASEAN’s commitment to pursue
forward-looking strategies to strengthen regional cooperation
on human rights?
Indicator 2: Has AICHR serve as a vehicle for progressive social
development and justice, the full realization of human dignity and
the attainment of a higher quality of life for ASEAN peoples?
Indicator 3: Has AICHR receive full support and provision of
adequate resources by ASEAN Member States?
Indicator 4: Has AICHR acknowledge contribution of
stakeholders in the promotion and protection of human rights in
ASEAN, and encourage their continuing engagement and dialogue
with the AICHR?
Indicator 5: Has ASEAN cooperation on human rights support the
evolution of AICHR as an overarching institution?
99. Since the adoption of ASEAN Charter in 2008,
much was said about engaging civil society,
respecting human rights, promoting democracy
and about good governance in ASEAN’s high-
level statements and documents.
