Rule of law for human rights in the ASEAN region : a base-line study
The Human Rights Resource Centre and its foundation were officially registered by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights on 31 March 2010 (Keputusan Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Republik Indonesia Nomor: AHU.1173.AH.01.04.Tahun.2010). It is a not for profit foundation under Indonesian law. The Centre has been established with the independence necessary to implement its own research, training, and educational agenda. While the HRRC is hosted at the University of Indonesia, it has an autonomous structure and independent funding to ensure its independence and regional focus. The HRRC is a genuinely regional institution that will employ in its operations the most capable and qualified individuals from across ASEAN. The Humans Rights Resource Centre (HRRC) has been designed to support the work of ASEAN human rights bodies, by providing an independent forum for regional experts to engage in research and capacity-building, as well as training and teaching that addresses human rights issues in ASEAN. Its overarching goal is to develop regional networks of experts on human rights issues in ASEAN in order to promote a better understanding of human rights in the region. The HRRC is headed by Marzuki Darusman as Chairman/ Executive Director and includes a core research staff with direct experience in leading regional projects in human rights training, research, and education. The HRRC’s activities will be concentrated in three areas: (i) research, analysis and data collection/presentation; (ii) training and capacity-building; and (iii) support for educational programs at universities throughout the region. The HRRC encompasses a network of Partner and Affiliated Institutions that taps into the region’s rich academic research community. Current Partner Institutions include the University of Indonesia, University of the Philippines (Philippines), the University of Malaya (Malaysia), the Law School of the National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University, and Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia. The Islamic University of Indonesia, which has a strong interest in human rights education, is the HRRCA’s first affiliate institution. Through collaboration with these partner and affiliated university-based institutions across ASEAN, the HRRC’s research, training, and capacity building projects will contribute to the development of human rights throughout the region.
