Human Rights and Sovereignty in the ASEAN Path Towards a Human Rights Declaration
Abstract
Sovereignty and non-interference principles are trademarks of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) regional approach. Starting from 1993, ASEAN has been developing a process aimed at creating a human rights system. This process reached its acme in August 2013 when the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) was formally launched. In the frame of the tension between sovereignty and
human rights, the paper firstly analyzes the roots of the ASEAN path towards the creation of the regional human rights system grounded on the ViennaWorld Conference debate. Next comes an analysis of the political commitments assumed by ASEAN in the last 20 years in the process of creating a human rights body in the region. Furthermore, the paper presents an in-depth analysis of the most problematic issues connected with the nature, functions, mandate, and purposes of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Human
Rights Commission (2009). This is followed by an analysis of the AHRD.
