National Human Rights Institutions in the Asia-Pacific: A Source Book (2001)

In recognition of the role of national human rights institutions in the process of establishing a regional human rights mechanism, this source book – a compilation of the salient features of the national human rights institutions of Australia, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand and their governing laws –, was published. This publication aims to raise the awareness of governments, NGOs, academicians and the general public as to the value of these institutions in promoting and protecting human rights and will contribute to the efforts towards the establishment of a regional human rights system in the Asia-Pacific region.
ASEAN and Human Rights (2003)

ASEAN and Human Rights is a modest attempt to address a persistent question: “To what extent is ASEAN supportive of human rights?” The question often crops up in the course of advocacy efforts of the Working Group for an ASEAN Human Rights Mechanism to engage ASEAN governments and peoples on the initiative to establish an appropriate regional mechanism on human rights.
Towards an ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (2008)

This research report is based primarily on the review of official documents at both ASEAN and national levels, and the State Reports for the CRC and CEDAW, including the Concluding Observations made by the UN Committees on CRC and CEDAW. Some findings and most of the recommendations included in the report are drawn directly or indirectly from the discussions and views expressed by participants during two regional consultative meetings held in Bangkok in November 2006 and April 2007, respectively.
