This book reviews Southeast Asia's National Human Rights
Institutions (NHRIs) as part of an emerging assessment of a nascent
regional human rights architecture that is facing significant
challenges in protecting human rights. The book asks, can NHRIs
overcome its weaknesses and provide protection, including remedies,
to victims of human rights abuses? Assessing NHRIs' capacity to do
so is vital as the future of human rights protection lies at the
national level, and other parts of the architecture-the ASEAN
Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), and the
international mechanism of the Universal Periodic Review
(UPR)-though helpful, also have their limitations. The critical
question the book addresses is whether NHRIs individually or
collaboratively provide protection of fundamental human rights. The
body of work offered in this book showcases the progress of the
NHRIs in Southeast Asia where they also act as a barometer for the
fluid political climate of their respective countries.
Specifically, the book examines the NHRIs' capacity to provide
protection, notably through the pursuit of quasi-judicial
functions, and concludes that this function has either been eroded
due to political developments post-establishment or has not been
included in the first place. The book's findings point to the need
for NHRIs to increase their effectiveness in the protection of
human rights and invites readers and stakeholders to find ways of
addressing this gap.
