This article explores the challenges and prospects of mainstreaming RtoP in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) through the analysis of the roles and performance of the ASEAN human rights bodies, in particular the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights ( AICHR ). The author argues that although ASEAN has made some progress in institutionalizing the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, it will take more time for ASEAN to mark substantial shift in intra- ASEAN relations and suggests that, in Southeast Asia where sovereignty is still jealously guarded, norms and ideas such as RtoP cannot yet have a decisive impact in practice. Specifically, mainstreaming RtoP in ASEAN is constrained by the principles of non-interference and consensus decision-making, which unfortunately remains the norm. In order for ASEAN to effectively care for people, a paradigm shift is necessary. Such shift can be anchored in the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration ( AHDR ) as well as employing the ‘ ASEAN minus X’ decision-making formula, activating the Troika, and dispatching of special envoys. These options, which are not new to ASEAN and have historically helped in its engagement with human rights, could also enable ASEAN to prevent and respond to systematic human rights violations and other issues which may amount to war crimes. As well, promoting national and regional dialogues on RtoP could influence ASEAN member states, especially those who are not yet comfortable with the principle. Different workshops and seminars that the AICHR has been organizing already provide the body opportunities for sharing and learning from other regions.

Drawing upon talks delivered at the Second Global Action Against Mass Atrocity Crimes conference, held in Manila 2016, this paper examines the extent to which the Asia Pacific region has begun to translate its commitment to the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) into practice. It finds that the so-called “East Asian Peace” has transformed the region from one of the world’s deadliest to one of the world’s most peaceful. But many key challenges remain and there is much to be done to make R2P and atrocity prevention a daily lived reality. This article proceeds in three parts. The first briefly describes the dramatic decline of atrocity crimes in East Asia. The second points to some key challenges on the ideational and institutional fronts. The third section turns specifically to the need to develop national architectures for atrocity prevention.

Forcible displacement can constitute a mass atrocity crime. This is something that is considered within the non-binding Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. Efforts to implement the Guiding Principles at the regional level suggest one path to implement stronger legal protections for internally displaced persons (IDPs), in particular, against mass atrocity crimes. These regional processes, however, can vary in remarkable ways. In the African Union, the Kampala Convention has brought the Guiding Principles and protections against mass atrocity crimes directed at IDPs into regional hard law; it also includes robust implementation and enforcement mechanisms. At this stage, however, these mechanisms remain anticipatory rather than effective; consequently international assistance will be vital to entrench the rights anchored in the Convention. By contrast, ASEAN has introduced no overt protections for IDPs. However, its developing legal human rights framework through the ASEAN Declaration of Human Rights, coupled with the Association’s response to the Rohingya IDP crisis in Myanmar, suggests that a policy-focused change, while incremental, may be happening.
