(358, 1, '2010-10-05 00:27:25', '2010-10-05 07:27:25', 'All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can''t you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.\n\n\n\nMrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children''s minds. It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day.\n\nIf you could keep awake (but of course you can''t) you would see your own mother doing this, and you would find it very interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on.\n\nI don''t know whether you have ever seen a map of a person''s mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child''s mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.\n\nOf course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John''s, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other''s nose, and so forth. On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.\n\nOf all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. That is why there are night-lights.\n\nOccasionally in her travels through her children''s minds Mrs. Darling found things she could not understand, and of these quite the most perplexing was the word Peter. She knew of no Peter, and yet he was here and there in John and Michael''s minds, while Wendy''s began to be scrawled all over with him. The name stood out in bolder letters than any of the other words, and as Mrs. Darling gazed she felt that it had an oddly cocky appearance.', 'Post Format: Standard', '', 'draft', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'post-format-standard', '', '', '2015-08-30 09:09:35', '2015-08-30 09:09:35', '', 0, 'http://wpthemetestdata.wordpress.com/?p=358', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Latin Character Tests
\r\nThis is a test to see if the fonts used in this theme support basic Latin characters.\r\n
\r\nThis is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.\r\n
Left Align
\r\n
This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it''s views. It''s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.
\r\n\r\n
Center Align
\r\n
This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.
\r\n\r\n
Right Align
\r\n
This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it''s views. It''s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it''s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.
\r\n\r\n
Justify Align
\r\n
This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it''s place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.

\nThis is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.\n
Left Align
\n
This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it''s views. It''s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.
\n\n
Center Align
\n
This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.
\n\n
Right Align
\n
This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it''s views. It''s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it''s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.
\n\n
Justify Align
\n
This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it''s place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.

Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there... Hey guy! Way to rock that right side.

The sticky post should be distinctly recognizable in some way in comparison to normal posts. You can style the .sticky class if you are using the post_class() function to generate your post classes, which is a best practice.
\r\n
They should show at the very top of the blog index page, even though they could be several posts back chronologically.
\r\n
They should still show up again in their chronologically correct postion in time, but without the sticky indicator.

If you have a plugin or widget that lists popular posts or comments, make sure that this sticky post is not always at the top of those lists unless it really is popular.

(1990, 1, '2015-08-30 09:09:35', '2015-08-30 09:09:35', 'All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can''t you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.\n\n\n\nMrs. Darling first heard of Peter when she was tidying up her children''s minds. It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day.\n\nIf you could keep awake (but of course you can''t) you would see your own mother doing this, and you would find it very interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on.\n\nI don''t know whether you have ever seen a map of a person''s mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child''s mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.\n\nOf course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John''s, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other''s nose, and so forth. On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.\n\nOf all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. That is why there are night-lights.\n\nOccasionally in her travels through her children''s minds Mrs. Darling found things she could not understand, and of these quite the most perplexing was the word Peter. She knew of no Peter, and yet he was here and there in John and Michael''s minds, while Wendy''s began to be scrawled all over with him. The name stood out in bolder letters than any of the other words, and as Mrs. Darling gazed she felt that it had an oddly cocky appearance.', 'Post Format: Standard', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '358-revision-v1', '', '', '2015-08-30 09:09:35', '2015-08-30 09:09:35', '', 358, 'http://asiacentre.brickisred.com/other/358-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Anderson saw the nationalism as a force that was integrative and imaginative; allowing us to build camaraderie with strangers. While other academics took a negative view of the subject, linking nationalism with fear, notions of ‘the other’ and racism; Anderson postulated that nationalism was also a positive force for integration and solidarity.\r\n\r\nIn a globalised world that is struggling to grapple with migration, climate change, economic integration, refugees and displaced populations just to name a few, this debate on nationalism and the notion of ‘imagined communities’ remains relevant today 32 years after its publication.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to join us for a debate and discussion on Imagined Communities in remembrance of Benedict Anderson.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Benedict Anderson\r\n\r\nBenedict Anderson (26 August 1936 – 13 December 2015) was best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66, which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nImagined Communities\r\nAnderson coined the term ‘imagined communities’ positing that that the nation was an imagined political community that arose as a result of the interplay between capitalism and the rise of the printing press. Anderson argued that within the nation ‘horizontal comradeship’ or a sense of fraternity was shared by people who did not know each other and who shared the same notion of belonging to a nation despite the existence of inequalities and oppression between groups. He wrote, “Ultimately it is this fraternity that makes it possible, over the past two centuries, for so many millions of people, not so much to kill, as willingly to die for such limited imaginings.”\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRSVP at Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson Facebook Page', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'debating-imagined-communities-a-tribute-to-benedict-anderson', '', '', '2016-02-14 10:24:08', '2016-02-14 10:24:08', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?post_type=event&p=2188', 0, 'event', '', 0),

Held on 30 January 2016 at Asia Centre in Bangkok, Thailand; the event attracted a diverse audience of about 40 people including friends and colleagues of Anderson, as well as students and members of public who were keen to learn more about the scholar and his work. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nProfessor James Gomez, Associate Dean (International Affairs) at the School of Communication Arts, Bangkok University and co-founder of the Asia Centre, opened the event by discussing how Anderson’s work sits in relation to his contemporaries. Professor Emeritus Charnvit Kasetsiri; a prominent historian and Thai studies scholar, shared the eulogy he gave at Anderson’s funeral in Surabaya. He spoke of his friendship and camaraderie with Anderson and provided insight into the man behind the work.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2287" align="alignleft" width="319"] Our Debate Panel[/caption]\r\n\r\nAnderson’s Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism revolutionised our understanding of nationalism. We revisited the discourse on the subject by debating the motion “This House Believes That Nationalism Can Be A Force For Good”. Proposing the motion was Professor Lipi Ghosh, Director for the Centre for South & Southeast Asian Studies, University of Calcutta and Professor Sean Matthews, Head of School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia). On the opposition there was Professor Coeli Barry, Chair of the Masters Programme in Human Rights, Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University and Professor Zaharom Naim, School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt was a rousing and engaging debate which raised some important questions about our understanding of nationalism, its'' continued relevance in contemporary society as well as alternatives ideologies that could be used to foster the development of ‘imagined communities’. The debate then opened to the floor for members of the audience to share their own thoughts, analysis and to pose questions to the debate panel. Both teams put up a good fight and ultimately, the outcome of the debate was determined by the audience who voted in favour of the Opposition.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2289" align="alignleft" width="300"] Prof. Charnvit launches Prof. Lipi Ghosh''s book "India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links To Contemporary Convergences"[/caption]\r\n\r\nWe were also pleased to be able to host the Bangkok launch of Prof. Lipi Ghosh’s new book India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links to Contemporary Convergences. Prof Ghosh’s work centres on India’s pivot towards Southeast Asia and examines how India’s relationship with countries in the region has developed and evolved over time.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe final segment of the programme was the Open Mic session where we were presented with two very interesting takes on the topic of nationalism. Poet, teacher and public speaker, Ms Puja Singh talked about her experiences as an ethnic minority in Nepal and how this shaped her identity and perspective. Mr Otgonbaatar, a Mahidol University student who is originally from Mongolia, played a Mongolian pop-song that drew on the celebrity of the country''s leading singers along with imagery of its glorious past and evocative song lyrics to raise national sentiment. Dr Kenneth Houston, then closed the event by sharing some of his own personal experiences with nationalism in the context of Ireland’s tumultuous history.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe debate and open mic session were a wonderful platform to engage with Anderson’s work. Today some 32 years after its initial publication, the issues raised in Imagined Communities remain relevant in a globalised world that is struggling to grapple with increasingly cross-border and transnational problems.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAbout Benedict Anderson\r\n\r\nBenedict Anderson (26 August 1936 – 13 December 2015) was best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66; which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'debating-imagined-communities-a-tribute-to-benedict-anderson', '', '', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?p=2284', 0, 'post', '', 0),

On the opposition there was Professor Coeli Barry, Chair of the Masters Programme in Human Rights, Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University and Professor Zaharom Naim, School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia).\r\n\r\nIt was a rousing and engaging debate which raised some important questions about our understanding of nationalism, its continued relevance in contemporary society as well as alternatives ideologies that could be used to foster the development of ‘imagined communities’.

As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66, which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog.

(2298, 5, '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson celebrated the life and work of the late Professor Anderson. Held on 30 January 2016 at Asia Centre in Bangkok, Thailand; the event attracted a diverse audience of about 40 people including friends and colleagues of Anderson, as well as students and members of public who were keen to learn more about the scholar and his work. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nProfessor James Gomez, Associate Dean (International Affairs) at the School of Communication Arts, Bangkok University and co-founder of the Asia Centre, opened the event by discussing how Anderson’s work sits in relation to his contemporaries. Professor Emeritus Charnvit Kasetsiri; a prominent historian and Thai studies scholar, shared the eulogy he gave at Anderson’s funeral in Surabaya. He spoke of his friendship and camaraderie with Anderson and provided insight into the man behind the work.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2287" align="alignleft" width="319"] Our Debate Panel[/caption]\r\n\r\nAnderson’s Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism revolutionised our understanding of nationalism. We revisited the discourse on the subject by debating the motion “This House Believes That Nationalism Can Be A Force For Good”. Proposing the motion was Professor Lipi Ghosh, Director for the Centre for South & Southeast Asian Studies, University of Calcutta and Professor Sean Matthews, Head of School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia). On the opposition there was Professor Coeli Barry, Chair of the Masters Programme in Human Rights, Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University and Professor Zaharom Naim, School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt was a rousing and engaging debate which raised some important questions about our understanding of nationalism, its'' continued relevance in contemporary society as well as alternatives ideologies that could be used to foster the development of ‘imagined communities’. The debate then opened to the floor for members of the audience to share their own thoughts, analysis and to pose questions to the debate panel. Both teams put up a good fight and ultimately, the outcome of the debate was determined by the audience who voted in favour of the Opposition.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2289" align="alignleft" width="300"] Prof. Charnvit launches Prof. Lipi Ghosh''s book "India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links To Contemporary Convergences"[/caption]\r\n\r\nWe were also pleased to be able to host the Bangkok launch of Prof. Lipi Ghosh’s new book India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links to Contemporary Convergences. Prof Ghosh’s work centres on India’s pivot towards Southeast Asia and examines how India’s relationship with countries in the region has developed and evolved over time.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe final segment of the programme was the Open Mic session where we were presented with two very interesting takes on the topic of nationalism. Poet, teacher and public speaker, Ms Puja Singh talked about her experiences as an ethnic minority in Nepal and how this shaped her identity and perspective. Mr Otgonbaatar, a Mahidol University student who is originally from Mongolia, played a Mongolian pop-song that drew on the celebrity of the country''s leading singers along with imagery of its glorious past and evocative song lyrics to raise national sentiment. Dr Kenneth Houston, then closed the event by sharing some of his own personal experiences with nationalism in the context of Ireland’s tumultuous history.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe debate and open mic session were a wonderful platform to engage with Anderson’s work. Today some 32 years after its initial publication, the issues raised in Imagined Communities remain relevant in a globalised world that is struggling to grapple with increasingly cross-border and transnational problems.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAbout Benedict Anderson\r\n\r\nBenedict Anderson (26 August 1936 – 13 December 2015) was best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66; which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2284-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '', 2284, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/other/2284-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

All Southeast Asian states have undergone two review cycles of their respective human rights situations under the process. But what is the impact of the UPR on human rights in the region? And does the focus on constructive dialogue and the state-centric nature of the process help improve the situation?\r\n\r\nThe region is politically diverse with member states varying in their national human rights protection systems, ratification of UN human rights instruments and level of civil society engagement. In relation to the UPR process, a key issue is how it contributes to the advancement of human rights in the region and what role it plays in relation to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and national human rights institutions (NHRIs).This conference seeks to critically examine the UPR process through evidence-based research to evaluate its impact on Southeast Asian states and societies.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Themes
\r\n
Key themes that will be treated are:\r\n1. Effectiveness of the UPR in addressing human rights protection gaps within Southeast Asia\r\n2. States adherence to UPR recommendations for improving the protection capacities of AICHR\r\n3. States adherence to UPR recommendations for improving the protection capacities of NHRIs.\r\n4. Development of an intra-regional linkage to formally engage with the UPR process\r\n5. Challenges faced by civil society in engaging with the UPR process\r\n6. Other related themes

The Institute focuses on two groups of individuals (1) students and (2) academics. Services are tailored to the needs of the individuals, whether they are native English speakers or individuals writing in English as a Second Language. \r\n\r\nStudents learn skills to equip them to write research proposals, their capstone papers, independent study papers, theses and other assignments, while academics receive the relevant coaching to help them write research proposals, grant applications, journal articles, book chapters, monographs and prepare manuscripts for academic publications.\r\n\r\nThe Institute also provides editorial services for proofreading and copy editing of all types of academic documents for submission to universities and publishers. Our editors have tertiary qualifications and extensive editorial experience. We welcome drop-in consultations at the Asia Centre to discuss writing assignments as well as have written work proofread and edited. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWriting Clinics\r\n\r\n1) For Students\r\n\r\nThis is an intensive course which aims to develop and expand the academic writing skills required to produce articles, reports and dissertations in English. The course will review the fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary and will teach students to organise their ideas in language that is effective and appropriate for academic work. Students will also sharpen their skills in structuring information and linking ideas into a coherent flowing piece. Attention will be paid to developing the skills needed to write a thesis; including crafting a thesis statement, critical reading of academic articles, research and summary skills as well as citing sources.\r\n\r\n2) For Academics\r\n\r\nThis is a special coaching clinic for academics who are looking to improve the quality, persuasiveness and originality of their academic writing. Participants will receive coaching in with greater clarity and purpose as well as in editing and critically reviewing their work, with a view to publication. It is suitable for academics and graduate students who are producing articles for journals, research papers for conferences as well as contributing content to books and other publications. The coaching clinic will also tackle the skills needed to edit collected works and special issues of journals. Participants will also receive coaching on how to deal with publishers as well as the pre-publication processes of copy editing, proofreading and proper referencing.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nEditorial Services \r\n\r\n1) For Students\r\n\r\nThe Writing Institute provides proofreading and editing services to students for a wide range of writing assignments including motivation letters, statements of purpose, essays, capstone papers, independent studies, theses, and as well as abstracts and papers for conferences. The Writing Institute works closely with the student to ensure the final document reflects a high level of proficiency in the English language, is consistent with academic conventions, employs effective tone and voice and is structured in a cogent manner. Students will also be able to drop in for one on one consultations with an assigned editor who can provide coaching throughout the writing process.\r\n\r\n2) For Academics\r\n\r\nThe Institute provides a range of supporting services for academics to prepare their work for publication as well as enhance the overall quality of their academic writing. Editorial services such as copyediting and proofreading are provided for research proposals, grant applications, journal articles, book chapters, monographs and manuscripts intended for academic publication. Our editors are well equipped to assist academics who are native English speakers as well as those for whom English is a Second Language. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nResearch Methodology Workshops\r\n\r\nTo achieve good results, academic writing needs to be grounded in sound research methodology. The research methodology clinic outlines the fundamentals of doing research from designing a research project to data collection and analysis. The workshops are ideal for postgraduates embarking on their Masters and Doctoral theses who are looking for coaching as they develop their research ideas. For academics, the workshops serve firstly as a refresher and secondly as an opportunity to design and execute an advanced research project with the objective of submitting an academic publication.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nEducational Consultancy\r\n\r\nThe Writing Institute provides consultancy services to educational institutions on academic matters. We advise on strategic planning, internalisation, inter-institution memorandums, development of international curriculum, staff capacity training, student exchanges, internships, short courses, summer camps, accreditation and quality assurance issues. We undertake external curriculum and programme reviews and can serve as external examiners and participate in review committees including compiling and preparing quality assurance reports.', 'Writing Institute', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'writing-institute', '', '', '2016-02-25 07:54:19', '2016-02-25 07:54:19', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?page_id=2331', 0, 'page', '', 0),

These are the human rights policies of national governments, advocacy positions promoted by both global and local civil society and the call for alignment with international human rights standards and procedures by inter-governmental organizations.\r\n\r\nIn this contest, the national governmental discourse has significantly impacted the tone of democracy and human rights now etched onto key documents such as the ASEAN Charter, ASEAN Inter-Governmental Commission of Human Rights (AICHR) Terms of Reference (TOR) and ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD). It continues to do so as the human rights regime evolves.\r\n\r\nThe result thus far, is a rather weak “protection” regime within ASEAN’s human rights framework.\r\n\r\nIn Southeast Asia, these three discourses offer two approaches to protection. First is “promotion,” based on the traditional, consensual “ASEAN way” – this is the discourse of national governments. Second is “protection,” based on quasi-judicial processes that also involve civil society and that engage domestic judicial authorities in seeking redress and remedies for victims of violations of rights – this is the discourse of local and global civil society and inter-governmental organizations.\r\n\r\nThe current human rights regime in Southeast Asia evolved following the 1993 Vienna Conference at which all States reaffirmed the universality of human rights. Concerted grassroots and international pressure contributed to moving Southeast Asian governments toward the current framework. Throughout the process, from 1993 to the present, these “universal” standards have found their way, albeit reluctantly, into ASEAN’s key documents pertaining to democracy and human rights.\r\n\r\nOfficial documents and statements from ASEAN, its member states, the AICHR, civil society actors and documents submitted to the Universal Periodic Review, Office of the High Commission of Human Rights (OHCHR) and the United Nations reveal a tension between “promotion” and “protection.”\r\n\r\nA review of the ASEAN Charter, AICHR’s TOR and the AHRD shows that since 1993 the development of a ‘protection” regime within AICHR has been influenced by the “ASEAN way” and ASEAN diplomatic culture that can be ascertained through some key practices.\r\n\r\nOne, a majority of AICHR representatives appear to act on behalf of their governments as opposed to advancing a credible peer review human rights system.

However a “community” presupposes the development of common values among its member-states and among its citizens.\r\n\r\nBut the papers in the volume reveal that ASEAN’s people-centered approach to regional integration is problematic due to the absence in practice of a community firmly anchored to democratic principles.

These are the human rights policies of national governments, advocacy positions promoted by both global and local civil society and the call for alignment with international human rights standards and procedures by inter-governmental organizations.\n\nIn this contest, the national governmental discourse has significantly impacted the tone of democracy and human rights now etched onto key documents such as the ASEAN Charter, ASEAN Inter-Governmental Commission of Human Rights (AICHR) Terms of Reference (TOR) and ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD). It continues to do so as the human rights regime evolves.\n\nThe result thus far, is a rather weak “protection” regime within ASEAN’s human rights framework.\n\nIn Southeast Asia, these three discourses offer two approaches to protection. First is “promotion,” based on the traditional, consensual “ASEAN way” – this is the discourse of national governments. Second is “protection,” based on quasi-judicial processes that also involve civil society and that engage domestic judicial authorities in seeking redress and remedies for victims of violations of rights – this is the discourse of local and global civil society and inter-governmental organizations.\n\nThe current human rights regime in Southeast Asia evolved following the 1993 Vienna Conference at which all States reaffirmed the universality of human rights. Concerted grassroots and international pressure contributed to moving Southeast Asian governments toward the current framework. Throughout the process, from 1993 to the present, these “universal” standards have found their way, albeit reluctantly, into ASEAN’s key documents pertaining to democracy and human rights.\n\nOfficial documents and statements from ASEAN, its member states, the AICHR, civil society actors and documents submitted to the Universal Periodic Review, Office of the High Commission of Human Rights (OHCHR) and the United Nations reveal a tension between “promotion” and “protection.”\n\nA review of the ASEAN Charter, AICHR’s TOR and the AHRD shows that since 1993 the development of a ‘protection” regime within AICHR has been influenced by the “ASEAN way” and ASEAN diplomatic culture that can be ascertained through some key practices.\n\nOne, a majority of AICHR representatives appear to act on behalf of their governments as opposed to advancing a credible peer review human rights system. Moreover, some have not had the requisite training.\n\nTwo, civil society organizations advocating for a robust protection system were consulted minimally on the margins and essentially excluded from the different formative stages of the ASEAN human rights regime.\n\nThree, while ASEAN states engage with international human rights monitoring systems, however grudgingly, their adherence to universal standards leaves a lot to be desired.\n\nFinally, regime security and power preservation take precedence over human rights for the region’s incumbent political elites.\n\nThe three discourses highlighted above represent Southeast Asia’s engagement with global human rights discourse.\n\nThe discourse from national governments as it pertains to human rights protection has resulted in a watered down version of key democracy and human rights related instruments in ASEAN when compared with other regions.\n\nOverall these competing discourses reveal Southeast Asia’s slow progress towards a more liberal democratic form of governance and rule of law as enshrined in international human rights standards.\n\nNevertheless, given that the AHRD and AICHR are “home-grown,” ASEAN governments cannot in future claim that human rights are an external imposition.\n\nAnalysts of the development of regional human right mechanisms need to take note of these discourses, in particular the counter-discourse from national governments, and their impact on the implementation of a protection mechanism within the regional human rights framework.\n\nDrs.

A review of Southeast Asia’s six NHRIs shows their weak record in providing such services and their capacity to bring about redress and compensation to human rights complaints.\r\n\r\nIn the past, the region’s NHRIs received “A” ratings from the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (ICC). Five NHRIs, except Timor- Leste, have been subject to regular reviews by the ICC for their conformity with the Paris Principles, which provide a global standard to measure and enhance the effectiveness of NHRIs.\r\n\r\nHowever, closer scrutiny of the effectiveness of their protection roles is now warranted as the positive “ratings” of some commissions have been threatened. This was hinted at, with the ICC threatening to downgrade Malaysia’s Commission as early as 2008 due to concerns over the independence of this body.\r\n\r\nA downgrade for Malaysia remains a possibility as necessary changes to increase its investigative powers were rejected by the Government in August 2015. The rejected changes included the election of commissioners by parliament, allowing it to appear as amicus curiae — “friends of the court” — in human rights cases, and the power to visit detention centres unannounced without first seeking authorisation.\r\n\r\nIn 2015, a similar concern was raised over Thailand’s National Human Rights Commission. In early 2016, Thailand’s NHRI was downgraded due to its failure to address longstanding “functional and structural problems”. These are set to continue under military rule and amid discussions on a new constitution.\r\n\r\nWe assessed the record of NHRIs in Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, and Thailand by reviewing key documents such as annual reports, submissions to United Nations human rights mechanisms, and third-party evaluations that recorded the activity and performances of these institutions.\r\n\r\nThe assessment was spurred by the fact that the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) created in 2010, in its current form, focuses mostly on the promotion of human rights. AICHR’s protection function, critical to a human rights mechanism, has been shown by several studies to be inadequate.\r\n\r\nGiven the emerging works on NHRIs in Asia and Southeast Asia in particular, our assessment was undertaken to determine whether ASEAN countries with NHRIs (Timor-Leste excluded) complement AICHR by filling the gap of “protection” in the regional mechanism.\r\n\r\nA review of the mandates of Southeast Asian NHRIs shows that in each country institutions were established as a result of political change to a more democratic regime, international pressure and the need to ensure human rights protection in the immediate aftermath of significant abuses.\r\n\r\nThus, the laws drafted to establish the different national institutions do seek to empower these entities to perform proper investigations of human rights abuses.\r\n\r\nWe do see some instances of Commissioners taking progressive interpretations of their mandates. However, the institutions as a whole continue to fall short regarding their protection function. We see varying degrees of protective capacity, from soft (Myanmar) to hard (Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Timor-Leste).\r\n\r\nAn examination of their performance from available primary sources over the past five years demonstrates three key findings. One, NHRIs are dependent on the political climate in each state.\r\n\r\nTwo, their quasi-judicial investigative processes are lacking in the follow-through that is necessary for the advancement of justice, not only for the parties in individual cases but more generally for the advancement of human rights consistent with international human rights standards.\r\n\r\nThree, NHRIs do not seem to be capable of securing remedies or advancing this cause for victims of violations of rights; evidence of this is lacking.\r\n\r\nThe review undertaken shows the actual practice of protection by NHRI’s leaves a lot to be desired. Just like the AICHR, the NHRIs are not yet able to perform the protection function effectively. This renders the overall human rights protection architecture in Southeast Asia rather weak and in need of improvement and enhancement.\r\n\r\nIn this context, international scrutiny of the protection of human rights in Southeast Asian States’ under the Universal Period Review (UPR) process of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) is vital.\r\n\r\nUnder the UPR process, States submit reports on the state of human rights protection in their respective countries to the HRC, which then issues recommendations that are either “accepted” or “noted” by the state under review.\r\n\r\nOne avenue for furthering protection is monitoring of the implementation of accepted recommendations and tracking developments around those rejected recommendations arising from the UPR process.\r\n\r\nThe element of “protection” needs to align through the national, regional and international human rights framework.\r\n\r\nJames Gomez and Robin Ramcharan are authors of “The ‘protection’ capacity of national human rights institutions in Southeast Asia”, February 2016, Working Paper Series, Southeast Asia Research Centre, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, City University, Hong Kong.', 'Region’s human rights watchdogs lack bite', 'Are Southeast Asia’s national human rights institutions protecting anyone?

Throughout the process, from 1993 to the present, these “universal” standards have found their way, albeit reluctantly, into ASEAN’s key documents pertaining to democracy and human rights.\r\n\r\nOfficial documents and statements from ASEAN, its member states, the AICHR, civil society actors and documents submitted to the Universal Periodic Review, Office of the High Commission of Human Rights (OHCHR) and the United Nations reveal a tension between “promotion” and “protection.”\r\n\r\nA review of the ASEAN Charter, AICHR’s TOR and the AHRD shows that since 1993 the development of a ‘protection” regime within AICHR has been influenced by the “ASEAN way” and ASEAN diplomatic culture that can be ascertained through some key practices.\r\n\r\nOne, a majority of AICHR representatives appear to act on behalf of their governments as opposed to advancing a credible peer review human rights system. Moreover, some have not had the requisite training.\r\n\r\nTwo, civil society organizations advocating for a robust protection system were consulted minimally on the margins and essentially excluded from the different formative stages of the ASEAN human rights regime.\r\n\r\nThree, while ASEAN states engage with international human rights monitoring systems, however grudgingly, their adherence to universal standards leaves a lot to be desired.\r\n\r\nFinally, regime security and power preservation take precedence over human rights for the region’s incumbent political elites.\r\n\r\nThe three discourses highlighted above represent Southeast Asia’s engagement with global human rights discourse.\r\n\r\nThe discourse from national governments as it pertains to human rights protection has resulted in a watered down version of key democracy and human rights related instruments in ASEAN when compared with other regions.\r\n\r\nOverall these competing discourses reveal Southeast Asia’s slow progress towards a more liberal democratic form of governance and rule of law as enshrined in international human rights standards.\r\n\r\nNevertheless, given that the AHRD and AICHR are “home-grown,” ASEAN governments cannot in future claim that human rights are an external imposition.\r\n\r\nAnalysts of the development of regional human right mechanisms need to take note of these discourses, in particular the counter-discourse from national governments, and their impact on the implementation of a protection mechanism within the regional human rights framework.\r\n\r\nDrs.

By May 2016, all Southeast Asian states would have undergone two review cycles of their respective human rights situations under the UPR process. The region is politically diverse with member states varying in their national human rights protection systems, ratification of UN human rights instruments and level of civil society engagement. In relation to the UPR process, a key issue is how it contributes to the advancement of human rights in the region and what role it plays in relation to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and national human rights institutions (NHRIs).\n

Most of the instruction and advising will take place on-site at the Asia Centre’s facilities. This will be complemented by guest lectures at selected Bangkok-based universities, professional visits and experiential learning trips. Students will be given the opportunity to apply the knowledge they gain through practical exercises, group work and assessments.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Teaching Materials
\r\nThe course outline will be delivered to students via email in advance of their arrival. Asia Centre will also provide e-learning material in the form of preparatory readings and notes, to give students an introduction and background to the topics that will be covered. We will also provide a supplementary reading list for students who wish to do some independent study on the topics covered in the course outline. The remaining course material such as copies of teaching presentations, handouts and worksheets will be given out at the start of the course. Students will be encouraged to take their own notes and to actively engage in class discussions and activities.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFor more information please contact us at info@asiacentre.co.th', 'International Educational Programme', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2171-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-02-23 08:56:54', '2016-02-23 08:56:54', '', 2171, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/other/2171-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The practice involves female gentile mutation (FGM) of infants and young girls. FGM occurs by virtue of tradition and for religious reasons and takes place in different regions. The latest UN estimations show that approximately 8,500 women and girls are harmed by FGM daily and around 140 million women and girls worldwide are victims of FGM. Alexandra Demetrianova, will share her impressions of the issue and reflects on how it is reported and documented in different regions. She will be joined by a panel of speakers who have been active in documenting and reporting on the practice.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the Speaker:\r\n

Open Call – Conference & Workshop
\r\n
Increasingly universities and institutions around the world are recognising the value of a holistic arts education that integrates a dynamic process of social engagement, public participation with others and the community. In Asia this movement of socially engaged, public participative and community art is gaining traction, albeit with different agendas at play with some universities initiating courses, the Art & Society Research Centre in Tokyo (http://searesearchlab.org/) initiating a lab on Socially Engaged/Community Art, and the National Arts Council of Singapore creating a department for Community and the Arts. We are also seeing more cross-disciplinary research and collaboration between artists, health workers, theatre groups, NGOs and the academia on art and cultural projects.
\r\n
Enhanced engagement and cross-sectoral collaborations are designed to stir civic consciousness and foster open social structures (even as possible instrumentalisation of art and domesticating activities take place) through public participation and engagement. Key to the effective achievement of such aims is the sharing of knowledge and experiences and the building of networks, and of a knowledge and experience archive or memory pool to continually build onto and draw learning from. This conference aims to convene these knowledge by bringing together practitioners from across ASEAN to share their experiences of cross sectoral collaboration and of using participative art as open and reciprocal processes for community engagement. This pooling of knowledge can foster the development of regional frameworks for community engagement that will be beneficial to arts and community knowledge creation, and to cross sector collaboration between the arts and other sectors such as health, education and advocacy in the region. Another important aspect of such activities would be on the issue of sustainability to be explored under the rubric of social entrepreneurship.
\r\n
Objective
\r\n
ASEAN level regional conference to share dynamic knowledge and build a comprehensive learning base on cross sector research and collaboration using art as open and reciprocal processes for social and community engagement.
\r\n
This event and activities will inform a forthcoming publication in 2017.
\r\n
Outcomes
\r\n\r\n\r\n
Participants will improve their capability to articulate, negotiate and critique frameworks and processes for public engaging activities and policies.
\r\n
Participants will acquire additional knowledge and competence to engage across cultures, disciplines and sectors, including acceptance of knowledge from the vernacular and the everyday.
\r\n
Networks for sustainable collaborations will be constructed and strengthened through sharing ownership of knowledge and experience.
\r\n
Social enterprises knowledge and fund-raising initiatives can be examined and explore to realise regional collaborations.
\r\n
ASEAN level research capability can be expanded to develop cross-sectors projects and know-how in the professional fields of social cross sector enterprises, such as in Arts & Health, Arts in Prison, Arts in Education, etc.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Participation

Yet, with the possible exception of Cambodia, the perpetrators have not been brought to justice and efforts to find out the truth and ascertain responsibilities have proven elusive. The journalists and human rights defenders\r\nho fight for accountability too often become victims themselves. At the same time, all across the region there are movements challenging denial and impunity, and employing various strategies to demand accountability. New generations are also emerging with a desire for knowing and reckoning with the past in order to shape a rights-based future for their country. \r\nWhile the contexts and abuses may differ, there are common spaces and strategies to tap on. This panel will focus on efforts at accountability in the region and will consider some of the following questions. What strategies are being employed? What choices and compromises; if any, are being made? What alliances are being formed? What is the synergy between efforts at the national, regional and international levels? What are the hopes in the midst of obstacles to ensure justice?\r\n\r\nModerator: Rosalia Sciortino, Founder and Executive Director SEA Junction\r\n\r\nSpeakers: \r\nGaluh Wandita, Co-founder and Director at Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR)\r\nConfronting enduring impunity in Indonesia and Timor Leste\r\n\r\nAung Khaing Min, Advocacy and Research Officer Burma Partnership\r\nReconciliation and Transitional Justice in Myanmar\r\n\r\nEdgardo Legaspi, Executive Director, Southeast Asian Press Alliance\r\nEnding the cycle of impunity for crimes against journalists in Southeast Asia\r\n\r\nThis event will also feature the presentation of the book “Enduring Impunity” a compilation of stories of women survivors in Indonesia, Timor Leste and Myanmar.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the afternoon at 5pm SEA Junction, will be launched at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Center.

(2652, 6, '2016-08-25 09:54:35', '2016-08-25 09:54:35', 'The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a mechanism under the Human Rights Council that reviews the human rights situation in all 193 UN Member States once every four and a half years. All Southeast Asian states have undergone two review cycles of their respective human rights situations under the process. But what is the impact of the UPR on human rights in the region? And does the focus on constructive dialogue and the state-centric nature of the process help improve the situation?\n\nThe region is politically diverse with member states varying in their national human rights protection systems, ratification of UN human rights instruments and level of civil society engagement. In relation to the UPR process, a key issue is how it contributes to the advancement of human rights in the region and what role it plays in relation to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and national human rights institutions (NHRIs).This conference seeks to critically examine the UPR process through evidence-based research to evaluate its impact on Southeast Asian states and societies.\n\n \n
Themes
\n
Key themes that will be treated are:\n1. Effectiveness of the UPR in addressing human rights protection gaps within Southeast Asia\n2. States adherence to UPR recommendations for improving the protection capacities of AICHR\n3. States adherence to UPR recommendations for improving the protection capacities of NHRIs.\n4. Development of an intra-regional linkage to formally engage with the UPR process\n5. Challenges faced by civil society in engaging with the UPR process\n6. Other related themes
\n \n
Objectives
\n
This conference aims to achieve the following objectives:\n1. Convene researchers working on human rights in Southeast Asia\n2. Exchange views among the authors researching the UPR process in Southeast Asia\n3. Publish the outcomes in a special issue journal and/or an edited book\n4. Contribute to the academic literature on the UPR and human rights in Southeast Asia
\n \n
Conference Structure
\n
The conference will consist of thematic panels, country-specific discussions and a final plenary session which will be open to civil society groups, international organisations, government officials and the academic community to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking opportunities.
\n \n
Conference Fees

UK voters were not properly informed by political leaders about the functions, institutions and\r\npowers of the EU, which has made a great contribution to the prosperity of the UK and peace in Europe. As a result, Britain’s referendum vote of 23 June 2016 ended up with a “leave the European Union (EU)” result – aka ‘Brexit’.
\r\n
This was the key conclusion from Asia Centre’s roundtable which attracted some 50 participants from academia, international organizations, the media, the NGO community, the public sector and the private sector.
\r\n \r\n\r\nThe panel (L-R) was moderated by Asia Centre''s Dr Robin Ramcharan and featured Alexandra Demetrianova, Thammasat University; Dr. David Moore, Portland State University;Dr. Kenneth Houston, Webster University and Dr.Peter Shearman, Chulalongkorn University.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAmong the other points made, the panellists noted that the Brexit vote was predictable and that it reflected voter dissatisfaction with political elites in Britain. However, the vote testifies to the enduring power of nationalism even as the world globalizes. Local identities still matter, as evidenced by demands for local autonomy in parts of the UK.\r\n\r\n \r\n
But early indications are that the UK will not trigger its Article 50 notice to leave the EU until first quarter 2017 at the earliest. From that point, two years is allowed for the negotiation of post-Brexit trade, military, diplomatic, legal and social policy and legislation changes (amongst others) before the full exit happens.
\r\n \r\n\r\nSo – the earliest possible exit date is end of 2018. More likely, it will be later. Hence, the Brexit saga is expected to continue for some time. While the EU will endure, it will be weakened by Britain’s eventual exit. This makes the EU very vulnerable to forces of fragmentation moving forward. In order to stem such challenges, the EU needs to better sell itself across generations and across Europe.', 'Brexit: A Failure to Promote the European Union', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'brexit-a-failure-of-promoting-the-european-union', '', '', '2016-07-28 07:06:59', '2016-07-28 07:06:59', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?p=2738', 0, 'post', '', 0),

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe panel (L-R) was moderated by Asia Centre''s Dr Robin Ramcharan and featured Alexandra Demetrianova, Thammasat University; Dr. David Moore, Portland State University;Dr. Kenneth Houston, Webster University and Dr.Peter Shearman,Chulalongkorn University.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAmong the other points made, the panellists noted that the Brexit vote was predictable and that it reflected voter dissatisfaction with political elites in Britain. However, the vote testifies to the enduring power of nationalism even as the world globalizes. Local identities still matter, as evidenced by demands for local autonomy in parts of the UK.\r\n
But early indications are that the UK will not trigger its Article 50 notice to leave the EU until first quarter 2017 at the earliest. From that point, two years is allowed for the negotiation of post-Brexit trade, military, diplomatic, legal and social policy and legislation changes (amongst others) before the full exit happens.
\r\n \r\n\r\nSo – the earliest possible exit date is end of 2018. More likely, it will be later. Hence, the Brexit saga is expected to continue for some time.\r\n
While the EU will endure, it will be weakened by Britain’s eventual exit. This makes the EU very vulnerable to forces of fragmentation moving forward. In order to stem such challenges, the EU needs to better sell itself across generations and across Europe.

Increasingly universities and institutions around the world are recognising the value of a holistic arts education that integrates a dynamic process of social engagement, public participation with others and the community. In Asia this movement of socially engaged, public participative and community art is gaining traction, albeit with different agendas at play with some universities initiating courses, the Art & Society Research Centre in Tokyo (http://searesearchlab.org/) initiating a lab on Socially Engaged/Community Art, and the National Arts Council of Singapore creating a department for Community and the Arts. We are also seeing more cross-disciplinary research and collaboration between artists, health workers, theatre groups, NGOs and the academia on art and cultural projects.
\r\n
Enhanced engagement and cross-sectoral collaborations are designed to stir civic consciousness and foster open social structures (even as possible instrumentalisation of art and domesticating activities take place) through public participation and engagement. Key to the effective achievement of such aims is the sharing of knowledge and experiences and the building of networks, and of a knowledge and experience archive or memory pool to continually build onto and draw learning from. This conference aims to convene these knowledge by bringing together practitioners from across ASEAN to share their experiences of cross sectoral collaboration and of using participative art as open and reciprocal processes for community engagement. This pooling of knowledge can foster the development of regional frameworks for community engagement that will be beneficial to arts and community knowledge creation, and to cross sector collaboration between the arts and other sectors such as health, education and advocacy in the region. Another important aspect of such activities would be on the issue of sustainability to be explored under the rubric of social entrepreneurship.
\r\n
Objective
\r\n
ASEAN level regional conference to share dynamic knowledge and build a comprehensive learning base on cross sector research and collaboration using art as open and reciprocal processes for social and community engagement.

On the eve of the 2016 US elections, will it be “change maker” Hillary Clinton or “believe me” Donald Trump?Will Hillary bring real change at last to the lives of working class Americans? Or will billionaire Trump “fix” a “rigged” political system and all the ills afflicting the USA? Has the “Bern” factor moved the Democratic Party too far to the left? Having captured the reigns of an establishment party and its core voters does outsider, property mogul Donald Trump’s nomination spell the end of the Republican Party, as Trump assaults its traditional values? How will either candidate engage with Asia and the rest of the world?

\r\n\r\nThis event is supported by the Heinrich Böll Stiftung, Southeast Asia.\r\n\r\n
The UPR has been an effective mechanism for putting human rights issues on the agenda and engaging States in conversation about critical issues. However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation of recommendations by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.
\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n
The boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report.
\r\n \r\n\r\nDay One: The Conversation Is Key\r\n
The first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanisms, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations.
\r\n
There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste.
The second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights, defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the UPR dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes.
\r\n \r\n
Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?
\r\n
The final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and Gymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process.
\r\n
Overall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and provided critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core.
\r\n
The conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle. It is set to be launched in the first quarter of 2017.

However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay One: The Conversation Is Key\r\n\r\nThe first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from a diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and\r\n\r\nGymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOverall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and providing a critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle.

This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?

These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay One: The Conversation Is Key\r\n\r\nThe first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from a diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and\r\n\r\nGymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOverall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and providing a critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle.

However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay One: The Conversation Is Key\r\n\r\nThe first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from a diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and\r\n\r\nGymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOverall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and providing a critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle.

However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand.

Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?

Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues.

It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOverall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and providing a critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia.

However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay One: The Conversation Is Key\r\n\r\nThe first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from a diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and\r\n\r\nGymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOverall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and providing a critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle.

However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand.

Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?

Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanism, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations. There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n\r\nThe second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues.

The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSoutheast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? \r\n\r\nThe final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?

The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and Gymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOverall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and provided a critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia.

Asia Centre offers the ideal candidate a fun and engaging work environment at our offices in Central Bangkok. We provide the opportunity to be a part of an internationally diverse team and to connect with our global network of partners in the corporate, nonprofit and academic sector.
The UPR has been an effective mechanism for putting human rights issues on the agenda and engaging States in conversation about critical issues. However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation of recommendations by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.
\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n
The boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report.
\r\n\r\n
Day One: The Conversation Is Key
\r\n
The first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanisms, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations.
\r\n
There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDay Two: Emerging Patterns & Trends in Engagement\r\n
The second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights, defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the UPR dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes.
\r\n \r\n
Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?
\r\n
The final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and Gymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process.
\r\n\r\n
Overall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and provided critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core.
\r\n\r\n
The conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle. It is set to be launched in the first quarter of 2017.

\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAsia Centre Conferences: Designed For Discourse\r\n\r\n\r\n
The boutique conference was structured around thematic clusters on stakeholder involvement, minority rights, civil and political freedoms and the death penalty. It included country specific discussions on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei and Thailand. Researchers were provided 50 minute slots to present their findings and in order to ensure adequate discussion time. A complete list of presenters and their individual topics is available at the end of the this report.
\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDay One: The Conversation Is Key
\r\n
The first day of the conference saw over 30 participants from diverse backgrounds including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanisms, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations.
\r\n
There were also issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste.
The second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights, defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the UPR dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes.
\r\n \r\n \r\n
Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action?
\r\n
The final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and Gymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process.
\r\n
Overall Asia Centre’s inaugural conference was successful in creating a platform for participatory discourse among different stakeholders who are actively engaged in with the UPR. It provided all present the opportunity to identify trends and patterns of engagement with the UPR over the two cycles and provided critical analysis of the UPR’s achievement in Southeast Asia. There was also discussion of establishing an evidence-based UPR network with the conference participants forming a core.
\r\n
The conference proceedings will be compiled into an edited volume which can inform engagement in the third cycle. It is set to be launched in the first quarter of 2017.

Asia Centre is facilitating a discussion and networking\r\nsession with New York-based Japanese photographer and anti-death penalty activist Toshi Kazama.

\r\n
The discussion will be followed by a networking session. Light refreshments will be served. You will also be able to view Toshi Kazama''s Photo Exhibition.
\r\n
This event is part of the End Crime Not Life regional campaign against the death penalty.

About Toshi Kazama
\r\n
When New York-based Japanese photographer Toshi Kazama went to his first photo session of a young American on death row he expected to see a monster. That ‘monster’ turned out to be a normal-looking child with extremely limited intelligence. At the end of the session, Kazama hugged him. That changed my life forever”.
\r\n
Kazama has now dedicated his life to the abolition of the death penalty.
\r\n
"To me the death penalty is you and I killing a human being. I don’t want to kill a human being with my own hand. Do you?”
\r\n
This event is free. Please register your attendance here.
\r\n
Please note that the venue for this event has been changed to Duangkamol Room, The Sukosol Hotel.

We welcome submissions from specialists in this field, including by former and current practitioners in the region’s NHRIs. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBackground and rationale:\r\n
In 2008, the ASEAN’s first-ever Charter came into force. After years of discussion coupled with external pressure, the ASEAN leaders ultimately consent to include an article on human rights that eventually lead to the establishment of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Human Rights Commission (AICHR) in 2010. Two years later in 2012, the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) was adopted. These regional human rights developments were significant for an association that is rooted in the principle of non-interference in domestic affairs of neighbouring states. Nevertheless, the capacity of the regional human rights mechanism to protect human rights is a major question mark that awaits an answer.
\r\n
A vital complement to this regional system is the group of NHRIs that lie at the intersection of civil society (national, regional and international) and the state. Six NHRIs have been established in the region, some pre-dating the regional mechanism. They are the Commission on Human Rights in the Philippines (CRP), Indonesia National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) and the Provedor for Human Rights and Justice of Timor Leste (PDHJ). The latter is a special case. As of now, Timor Leste has yet to be admitted as a full member of ASEAN.
\r\n
In addition, in order to face the regional developments and challenges, these NHRIs, while seeking to improve their national capacities, have also evolved and formalised their network and named it as the Southeast Asia NHRI Forum (SEANF) in 2009. The formalisation of SEANF is considered a commitment of the Southeast Asia NHRIs in further strengthening and enhancing their roles in protecting human rights in the region.
\r\n
Internationally, they are also members in the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (APF) and are part of the Global Alliance of the National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), formerly known as the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (ICC). They also contribute stakeholder submissions to the UPR process of the Human Rights Council.
\r\n
The question arises, however, as to whether these government-sponsored NHRIs are effective in providing protection of human rights in the region. Preliminary analysis has questioned their effectiveness in providing protection.
\r\n
The unique position of the NHRIs between the government and civil society provide opportunities and at the same time dilemmas in protecting human rights in the region. Their capacity to investigate human rights violations, to conduct national inquiries or public hearings and to secure remedies for human rights victims are often questioned.
\r\n
This conference aims to serve as a platform for representatives from NHRIs, academics, researchers, students and civil society interested in the topic to explore, through evidence based research, the potentials, challenges and opportunities of these Southeast Asian NHRIs and their contribution to human rights protection in the region. It seeks to explore their protection roles at the national, regional and international levels.
\r\n
Themes
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
NHRIs, international human rights system and networks. How is the interaction between the NHRIs at the international level, for example with the UPR and UN? What is the role of GANHRI in the growth and development of the NHRIs worldwide?
\r\n
NHRIs in the national context. Why states create NHRIs? What are its mandates, legal basis, powers, functions and its compliances with Paris Principles? What happens to others that do not have any? Topics can be related to NHRIs and state compliance, NHRIs and political regimes, NHRIs and judiciary.
\r\n
NHRIs and regional human rights system and networks. Now that the AICHR has been established, how is the relationship between the NHRIs and AICHR? How have the NHRIs respond to the AHRD? To what extent the regional networks such as the SEANF and the APF could help in term of advancing the protection role of the NHRIs?
\r\n
NHRIs and human rights protection. NHRIs’ mandates and powers are varied; do they help in securing remedies or compensation? What are their impacts on protecting human rights? Now that NHRIs have engaged with other human rights networks regionally and globally, how has it help in dealing with transboundary human rights issues?

(3083, 3, '2016-11-17 04:48:37', '2016-11-17 04:48:37', 'Asia Centre invites the submission of abstracts on the role of national human rights institutions (NHRIs) in Southeast Asia in protecting human rights. We welcome submissions from specialists in this field, including by former and current practitioners in the region’s NHRIs. \n\n \n\nBackground and rationale:\n
In 2008, the ASEAN’s first-ever Charter came into force. After years of discussion coupled with external pressure, the ASEAN leaders ultimately consent to include an article on human rights that eventually lead to the establishment of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Human Rights Commission (AICHR) in 2010. Two years later in 2012, the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) was adopted. These regional human rights developments were significant for an association that is rooted in the principle of non-interference in domestic affairs of neighbouring states. Nevertheless, the capacity of the regional human rights mechanism to protect human rights is a major question mark that awaits an answer.
\n
A vital complement to this regional system is the group of NHRIs that lie at the intersection of civil society (national, regional and international) and the state. Six NHRIs have been established in the region, some pre-dating the regional mechanism. They are the Commission on Human Rights in the Philippines (CRP), Indonesia National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) and the Provedor for Human Rights and Justice of Timor Leste (PDHJ). The latter is a special case. As of now, Timor Leste has yet to be admitted as a full member of ASEAN.
\n
In addition, in order to face the regional developments and challenges, these NHRIs, while seeking to improve their national capacities, have also evolved and formalised their network and named it as the Southeast Asia NHRI Forum (SEANF) in 2009. The formalisation of SEANF is considered a commitment of the Southeast Asia NHRIs in further strengthening and enhancing their roles in protecting human rights in the region.
\n
Internationally, they are also members in the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (APF) and are part of the Global Alliance of the National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), formerly known as the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (ICC). They also contribute stakeholder submissions to the UPR process of the Human Rights Council.
\n
The question arises, however, as to whether these government-sponsored NHRIs are effective in providing protection of human rights in the region. Preliminary analysis has questioned their effectiveness in providing protection.
\n
The unique position of the NHRIs between the government and civil society provide opportunities and at the same time dilemmas in protecting human rights in the region. Their capacity to investigate human rights violations, to conduct national inquiries or public hearings and to secure remedies for human rights victims are often questioned.
\n
This conference aims to serve as a platform for representatives from NHRIs, academics, researchers, students and civil society interested in the topic to explore, through evidence based research, the potentials, challenges and opportunities of these Southeast Asian NHRIs and their contribution to human rights protection in the region. It seeks to explore their protection roles at the national, regional and international levels.
\n
Themes
\n\n
\n
NHRIs, international human rights system and networks. How is the interaction between the NHRIs at the international level, for example with the UPR and UN? What is the role of GANHRI in the growth and development of the NHRIs worldwide?
\n
NHRIs in the national context. Why states create NHRIs? What are its mandates, legal basis, powers, functions and its compliances with Paris Principles? What happens to others that do not have any? Topics can be related to NHRIs and state compliance, NHRIs and political regimes, NHRIs and judiciary.
\n
NHRIs and regional human rights system and networks. Now that the AICHR has been established, how is the relationship between the NHRIs and AICHR? How have the NHRIs respond to the AHRD? To what extent the regional networks such as the SEANF and the APF could help in term of advancing the protection role of the NHRIs?
\n
NHRIs and human rights protection. NHRIs’ mandates and powers are varied; do they help in securing remedies or compensation? What are their impacts on protecting human rights? Now that NHRIs have engaged with other human rights networks regionally and globally, how has it help in dealing with transboundary human rights issues?
\n

Nationalism, Citizenship and Statelessness: Current Issues and Developments in Asia
\r\n\r\n
On 18 January 2017, Asia Centre will be convening the Benedict Anderson 1st Anniversary Memorial Roundtable to discuss contemporary issues surrounding nationalism, citizenship and statelessness across Asia. Nationalism remains a powerful force in current times as it fuels growth from the 54 states of UN in 1945 to 193 members to date. In the wake of Brexit and the Trump victory, it is driving energies in Scotland, Catalonia and elsewhere. As a result, states are seeking to keep strong control over citizenship and immigration while enacting laws to render political opponents and vulnerable people stateless in the name of security. This Roundtable seeks to reflect on and discuss these issues in the context of contemporary developments in Asia such as the Chakmas in India, Uyghurs in China, Rohingyas in Myanmar, Hmong in Laos and others. This event follows our inaugural memorial Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute to Benedict Anderson held on 30 January 2016 at the Asia Centre. The Roundtable is organised to celebrate the memory, life and work of Professor Benedict Anderson a well known academic who engaged in these issues.

This gathering of artists, educators and practitioners from countries in the Asia Pacific region and beyond provided a space for diverse and different perspectives.
From 19 to 30 September 2016, Asia Centre held a Media & Communications Workshop for students from the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh. The two week experiential learning programme was designed to give students an introduction to the Asian media landscape, hone their practical skills and undertake a multimedia project of their own.
\r\n
The programme kicked off with an orientation to the course and brainstorming for their media project under the guidance of Asia Centre’s Dr. James Gomez and Dr Robin. Ramcharan. The group then participated in a team building scavenger hunt to help them work together and learn to navigate Bangkok.
\r\n
Classroom sessions during the first week were focused on understanding the marketing and communication strategies for businesses. Bamboo Labs, a social media and digital marketing start-up introduced students to their latest software designed to help people who are learning English. They introduced their product and discussed some of the challenges in getting it to the target markets. Students also participated in a session facilitated by Brice Degeyter from The Football Agency, asports sponsorship and activation company using the platform of football to attract, connect and engage with the consumers in Asia.
\r\n
Beyond the classroom, students were able to network with journalists, political commentators and academics at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand. The highlight of the event was a panel discussion on Religious Tolerance in Thailand featuring Mrs Angkhana Neelapaijit, a Commissioner from the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand.
\r\n
They also visited the ASEAN Cultural Centre which provided an excellent introduction to the diversity of the region and the historical linkages between Southeast Asian countries through trade as well as the spread of religion and colonisation. Beyond the fun of the interactive exhibitions on national costumes and glimpses into the food and flavours of Southeast Asia, the visit also provided critical information on the populations, politics and present day conditions in the region.
\r\n
Their introduction to the Thai media landscape came in the form of a visit to Voice TV, one of the country''s most popular news and variety channels. Students got the opportunity to tour the studios, witness a live broadcast and field their questions to Voice TV’s lead news anchor Teerat Ratanasevi.
\r\n
Week one of the workshop rounded off with students pitching their projects to their advisors who provided advice and critique on their objectives and strategies for carrying out their multimedia projects.
\r\n
In the second week of the workshop, a visit to the Thai Public Broadcasting Service allowed students to understand some of the challenges of producing critical content in the context of shrinking civil and political space for discourse. They also toured the studios and spoke with staff in the television and radio broadcasting departments. They were able to network with students and faculty at Stenden University, Thailand during a discussion on academic and industry collaboration.
\r\n
Students spent much of the week venturing out into the big city to conduct their interviews and take photos and videos for their final project. Navigating the bustling alleyways of Chinatown was an excellent opportunity to understand the dynamics of the different communities within Bangkok and to contemplate the impact of China on the region. They also toured areas relevant to their particular subject matter.
\r\n
\r\nAt the end of the week the students presented their findings to a panel of experts including journalists, media and communications experts and lecturers. The topics covered in the multimedia projects displayed a diverse and nuanced appreciation of Bangkok, from its train system to the everyday experiences of Muslim minorities and the off the beaten track adventures of backpackers. Presented through storytelling, short videos and photo essays, the students also made efforts to uncover lessons that could apply to their own lives in Bangladesh, from developing Bangladesh as the next budget travel hotspot to inclusive urban planning strategies.
\r\n
\r\nThe workshop was structured to include learning and practical components with in-class activities complemented by learning visits to media companies and opportunities to network and interact with industry professionals. At the end to two weeks the students displayed critical thinking, developed insight into the media landscape and understood the context surrounding each story. They also demonstrated their professional skills and competencies in interviewing, photography and video editing in the execution of their projects.

The final day featured a participant-led workshop using Open Space and World Cafe methods of participative and consultative processes. Participants then explored two case studies of collaborative projects, the first being the Bangkok based 3C - Canal, Cycling, Community project designed to engage the community living by the canal through art and cycling. The second case study considered was a research project on Art in Action, focused on using art strategies to initiate, support and engage social transformations.
\r\n
This gathering of artists, educators and practitioners from countries in the Asia Pacific region and beyond provided a space for diverse and different perspectives.
A United Nations initiative reviewing human rights records of countries around the world is indirectly strengthening civil society organisations in Southeast Asia by allowing them to participate in the process. But the groups are still blocked from ensuring human rights are meaningfully protected in their countries.
\r\n
The UN General Assembly established its Human Rights Council and introduced the universal periodic review of the human rights situation in member countries in 2006. The ten Southeast Asian countries that make up ASEAN – Brunei Darussalam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam – have now undergone two cycles of review, while a few remaining nations are awaiting the second round.
\r\n
Under the process, states report to the commission every four-and-a-half years and receive its recommendations. Reviews focus on the evolution of human rights in that state, and its implementation of previous recommendations. The state under review may either “accept” or “note” the suggestions.
\r\n
Recommendations that states tend to accept are those around improving gender equality, accessibility for those with disabilities, and children’s rights, which has gained particular prominence during the review.
\r\n
Recommendations that aren’t as acceptable tend to involve hard political issues related to civil and political liberties. Unsurprisingly, it’s usually the latter that are detailed in submissions by civil society organisations.
\r\n\r\n
A role for civil society
\r\n
Civil society participation in the universal periodic review of ASEAN countries has increased markedly over the two cycles. Some 592 such organisations participated in the first cycle in 2008-2012, with 188 submissions; the second cycle (2012-2016) saw a strong increase, with 811 groups submitting 310 reports (personal, unpublished research).
\r\n
The rise has put civil society groups at the centre of the UN human rights improvement process. But this isn’t the first time such groups have been at the heart of human rights advocacy in the region.
But since the establishment of the AICHR, civil society has disappeared from the process. Instead, the commission follows a secretive peer-review process in which such groups have no formal role.
\r\n
Although AICHR is supposed to be engaged in human rights promotion and protection work, in reality it is unable to provide any actual protection. It is not mandated to receive complaints on human rights abuses, and does not have the power to investigate and hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, the bulk of AICHR activities revolve around meetings, discussions and research that have a consensual approach.
\r\n
Similarly, national human rights institutions also cannot realistically contribute to the region’s protection arsenal. Research shows that, just like the AICHR, national institutions are not able to perform their protection function effectively.
\r\n
These weak mechanisms raise the question of whether national human rights institutions in Southeast Asia can fill the protection gap. They also make human rights protection in the region weak, and in dire need of improvement and enhancement.

Given the weakness of AICHR and national human rights institutions, engagement with the universal periodic review is critical to the advancement of human rights in Southeast Asia.
\r\n\r\n
Being clever about it
\r\n
Since the establishment of the universal periodic review process, civil society groups in the region have been receiving training, preparing submissions, and even making their way to Geneva. In 2015, for instance, five civil society groups from Singapore went on a trip to Switzerland to discuss human rights in the city-state.
\r\n
Civil society groups have become involved in monitoring state recommendations and their implementation, as well as speaking on the review process itself. Many have attracted international donor funding and support for this work. US-based The Carter Center, for instance, has published a document titled Universal Periodic Review: Training Manual for Civil Society.
\r\n
While states in the region espouse the rhetoric of engagement with civil society groups over the review process, they are, at the same time, cautious of them.
In a 2015 report, civil society body CIVICUS discussed cases from Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam, in which governments have responded with misinformation, arranged for voluminous submissions by government-organised NGOs, and conducted consultations only with partisan groups, while refusing to work with civil society groups that are more critical of government policy.
\r\n
Some have enrolled supportive organisations to speak during sessions at the adoption of the working group report by the commission. While others, such as Vietnam, have objected to the granting of consultative status to some NGOs.
\r\n
Nonetheless, for Southeast Asian civil society groups, the review has been an effective mechanism for putting human rights issues on the agenda and engaging their governments in conversation about critical issues, such as LGBTI rights in Indonesia.
\r\n
But systemic problems remain for engaging others. These include following up on recommendations and the review’s ability to address difficult political issues, such as the lese majeste law in Thailand, which forbids citizens from defaming or insulting the kind, and other freedom of expression issues.
\r\n
To have the review make a real impact, civil society organisations will need to think about what they’ve been doing and develop more strategic approaches for the third cycle, which begins in 2017. They will need to go beyond coalition-building and organising submissions to determining how they can make human rights protections actually enforceable.

Asia Centre facilitated the discussion and networking session following Mr Kazama’s presentation which focused on how he uses photography as a tool to express his point of view on human rights and specifically on the death penalty.
\r\n\r\n
\r\nA diverse crowd of about 35 people came together to listen to Mr Kazama narrate the stories behind each picture exhibited; those of people on death row and the execution methods in various countries. Asia Centre’s Dr. Robin Ramcharan managed the audience’’s queries on Mr. Kazama’s perspective on the use of the death penalty in the ASEAN region.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Key questions from the audience centred around events in the Philippines and Indonesia that\r\nhave reignited the debate on the the use of the death penalty to tackle crime. Other issues raised by the audience touched on the morality of the death penalty and the role of the media.
\r\n
This audience discussion was followed by a networking session where participants could view the photo exhibition and further their conversations with Mr. Kazama.
\r\n\r\n
The Focus on Life discussion and photo exhibition was part of the End Crime Not Life regional campaign against the death penalty which will continue its tour through major cities in ASEAN. You can learn more about the campaign at the following link: http://www.endcrimenotlife.com/

On the eve of the historic vote, Asia Centre convened a roundtable to discuss perspectives and predictions on the outcome of the US Presidential Elections. Entitled, “The 2016 US Elections: Change At Last?” the event was held in partnership with the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA).
\r\n
The roundtable panel featured a former US ambassador, academics of various nationalities and disciplines and a journalist. All discussants provided their insight and analysis on the campaign period, what they saw as key determinants of the election and the impact the results would have on Asia.
\r\n
Margaret MacMillion, Former Ambassador of the United States to Rwanda discussed the foreign policy implications. Kevin Downey form Thammasat University and Jerimiah Morris from Mahidol University International College, both American nationals living and teaching in Thailand, discussed the political system in the US and political discourse in a “post-fact” world. Pablo Ramirez, Bangkok University, a Mexican national, examined campaign rhetoric towards hispanics and its meaning for Mexico - US relations. Mike Raomanachai from AAJA shared his experiences covering the Democratic convention during previous elections and discussed the role that media coverage and social media in particular has played.
\r\n
\r\n
Salient points raised during the discussion included:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The dissonance between the elites and the electorate;
\r\n
The inherent two-party nature of the US electoral system and the adaptability of the Republican Party despite current internal difficulties;
\r\n
As during the Brexit debate in the UK, the American electoral campaign discourse was far removed from facts on the ground;
\r\n
The pressures imposed by populist forces on the independence of media in a post-fact world;
\r\n
The global uncertainty that would accompany a Trump presidency in the form of a more isolationist and burden sharing relationship with US allies and
\r\n
The disaffection with the United States felt across Latin America in light of the anti-hispanic and anti-Mexican rhetoric that was crassly exploited for political gain.
\r\n
\r\n
During the Q&A session, participants pondered the impact of FBI investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails, how the rhetoric of the campaign was being received outside US and the continued viability of a two party system given Trump’s candidacy on the Republican party. Much attention was also focused on the rise of highly populist political discourse in an age of austerity and the willingness of the disaffected and disenfranchised middle classes to accept post-factual discourse, often driven by a “fake news” originating over social media.
\r\n
Consistent with polling, panelists at the Asian Centre roundtable predicted a Trump defeat. However, the result has shown otherwise. The Centre will continue to monitor the impact of the Trump presidency in Asia.

On the eve of the historic vote, Asia Centre convened a roundtable to discuss perspectives and predictions on the outcome of the US Presidential Elections. Entitled, “The 2016 US Elections: Change At Last?” the event was held in partnership with the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA).
\r\n
The roundtable panel featured a former US ambassador, academics of various nationalities and disciplines and a journalist. All discussants provided their insight and analysis on the campaign period, what they saw as key determinants of the election and the impact the results would have on Asia.
\r\n
Margaret MacMillion, Former Ambassador of the United States to Rwanda discussed the foreign policy implications. Kevin Downey form Thammasat University and Jerimiah Morris from Mahidol University International College, both American nationals living and teaching in Thailand, discussed the political system in the US and political discourse in a “post-fact” world. Pablo Ramirez, Bangkok University, a Mexican national, examined campaign rhetoric towards hispanics and its meaning for Mexico - US relations. Mike Raomanachai from AAJA shared his experiences covering the Democratic convention during previous elections and discussed the role that media coverage and social media in particular has played.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Salient points raised during the discussion included:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The dissonance between the elites and the electorate;
\r\n
The inherent two-party nature of the US electoral system and the adaptability of the Republican Party despite current internal difficulties;
\r\n
As during the Brexit debate in the UK, the American electoral campaign discourse was far removed from facts on the ground;
\r\n
The pressures imposed by populist forces on the independence of media in a post-fact world;
\r\n
The global uncertainty that would accompany a Trump presidency in the form of a more isolationist and burden sharing relationship with US allies and
\r\n
The disaffection with the United States felt across Latin America in light of the anti-hispanic and anti-Mexican rhetoric that was crassly exploited for political gain.
\r\n
\r\n
During the Q&A session, participants pondered the impact of FBI investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails, how the rhetoric of the campaign was being received outside US and the continued viability of a two party system given Trump’s candidacy on the Republican party. Much attention was also focused on the rise of highly populist political discourse in an age of austerity and the willingness of the disaffected and disenfranchised middle classes to accept post-factual discourse, often driven by a “fake news” originating over social media.
\r\n
Consistent with polling, panelists at the Asian Centre roundtable predicted a Trump defeat. However, the result has shown otherwise. The Centre will continue to monitor the impact of the Trump presidency in Asia.
New York-based Japanese photographer and anti-death penalty activist Toshi Kazama held a photo exhibition and discussion of his work on 11 October 2016 at The Sukosol Hotel. Asia Centre facilitated the discussion and networking session following Mr Kazama’s presentation which focused on how he uses photography as a tool to express his point of view on human rights and specifically on the death penalty.
\r\n
\r\n
A diverse crowd of about 35 people came together to listen to Mr Kazama narrate the stories behind each picture exhibited; those of people on death row and the execution methods in various countries. Asia Centre’s Dr. Robin Ramcharan managed the audience’’s queries on Mr. Kazama’s perspective on the use of the death penalty in the ASEAN region.
\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_3214" align="alignleft" width="355"] Asia Centre''s Dr. Robin Ramcharan facilitating the Q&A[/caption]\r\n
Key questions from the audience centred around events in the Philippines and Indonesia that\r\nhave reignited the debate on the the use of the death penalty to tackle crime. Other issues raised by the audience touched on the morality of the death penalty and the role of the media.
\r\n\r\n\r\n
This audience discussion was followed by a networking session where participants could view the photo exhibition and further their conversations with Mr. Kazama.
\r\n
The Focus on Life discussion and photo exhibition was part of the End Crime Not Life regional campaign against the death penalty which will continue its tour through major cities in ASEAN. You can learn more about the campaign at the following link: http://www.endcrimenotlife.com/
\r\n
The photo exhibition, discussion and networking was a parallel event to the SEAHRN 4th International Conference on Human Rights and Peace in Southeast Asia facilitated by Asia Centre.

In the 2011 General Election, the PAP won 60.1% of the valid votes the lowest in its entire election history fueling discussion of political change in the city-state. But in the 2015 General Election, the PAP dramatically increased their vote share to 69.9% of the valid ballots cast, surprising even some of its own party candidates. Is the PAP''s landslide victory at the recent polls irrefutable proof that Singaporeans still want the PAP to stay in power indefinitely? Has the PAP won elections fair and square? Jeannette, an opposition politician who contested against the PAP candidate in both the 2011 and 2015 General Election, offers her perspective of politics in Singapore.\n\n \n\nSpeaker\n\nJeannette Aruldoss is a lawyer and opposition politician from Singapore. She entered politics in 2009 when she joined an opposition political party.

On the eve of the historic vote, Asia Centre convened a roundtable to discuss perspectives and predictions on the outcome of the US Presidential Elections. Entitled, “The 2016 US Elections: Change At Last?” the event was held in partnership with the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA).
\r\n
The roundtable panel featured a former US ambassador, academics of various nationalities and disciplines and a journalist. All discussants provided their insight and analysis on the campaign period, what they saw as key determinants of the election and the impact the results would have on Asia.
\r\n
Margaret MacMillion, Former Ambassador of the United States to Rwanda discussed the foreign policy implications. Kevin Downey form Thammasat University and Jerimiah Morris from Mahidol University International College, both American nationals living and teaching in Thailand, discussed the political system in the US and political discourse in a “post-fact” world. Pablo Ramirez, Bangkok University, a Mexican national, examined campaign rhetoric towards hispanics and its meaning for Mexico - US relations. Mike Raomanachai from AAJA shared his experiences covering the Democratic convention during previous elections and discussed the role that media coverage and social media in particular has played.
\r\n
\r\n
Salient points raised during the discussion included:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The dissonance between the elites and the electorate;
\r\n
The inherent two-party nature of the US electoral system and the adaptability of the Republican Party despite current internal difficulties;
\r\n
As during the Brexit debate in the UK, the American electoral campaign discourse was far removed from facts on the ground;
\r\n
The pressures imposed by populist forces on the independence of media in a post-fact world;
\r\n
The global uncertainty that would accompany a Trump presidency in the form of a more isolationist and burden sharing relationship with US allies and
\r\n
The disaffection with the United States felt across Latin America in light of the anti-hispanic and anti-Mexican rhetoric that was crassly exploited for political gain.
\r\n
\r\n
During the Q&A session, participants pondered the impact of FBI investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails, how the rhetoric of the campaign was being received outside US and the continued viability of a two party system given Trump’s candidacy on the Republican party. Much attention was also focused on the rise of highly populist political discourse in an age of austerity and the willingness of the disaffected and disenfranchised middle classes to accept post-factual discourse, often driven by a “fake news” originating over social media.
\r\n
Consistent with polling, panelists at the Asian Centre roundtable predicted a Trump defeat. However, the result has shown otherwise. The Centre will continue to monitor the impact of the Trump presidency in Asia.
New York-based Japanese photographer and anti-death penalty activist Toshi Kazama held a photo exhibition and discussion of his work on 11 October 2016 at The Sukosol Hotel. Asia Centre facilitated the discussion and networking session following Mr Kazama’s presentation which focused on how he uses photography as a tool to express his point of view on human rights and specifically on the death penalty.
\r\n
\r\n
A diverse crowd of about 35 people came together to listen to Mr Kazama narrate the stories behind each picture exhibited; those of people on death row and the execution methods in various countries. Asia Centre’s Dr. Robin Ramcharan managed the audience’’s queries on Mr. Kazama’s perspective on the use of the death penalty in the ASEAN region.
\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_3214" align="alignleft" width="355"] Asia Centre''s Dr. Robin Ramcharan facilitating the Q&A[/caption]\r\n
Key questions from the audience centred around events in the Philippines and Indonesia that\r\nhave reignited the debate on the the use of the death penalty to tackle crime. Other issues raised by the audience touched on the morality of the death penalty and the role of the media.
\r\n
This audience discussion was followed by a networking session where participants could view the photo exhibition and further their conversations with Mr. Kazama.
\r\n
The Focus on Life discussion and photo exhibition was part of the End Crime Not Life regional campaign against the death penalty which will continue its tour through major cities in ASEAN. You can learn more about the campaign at the following link: http://www.endcrimenotlife.com/
\r\n
The photo exhibition, discussion and networking was a parallel event to the SEAHRN 4th International Conference on Human Rights and Peace in Southeast Asia facilitated by Asia Centre.
From 19 to 30 September 2016, Asia Centre held a Media & Communications Workshop for students from the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh. The two week experiential learning programme was designed to give students an introduction to the Asian media landscape, hone their practical skills and undertake a multimedia project of their own.
\r\n
The programme kicked off with an orientation to the course and brainstorming for their media project under the guidance of Asia Centre’s Dr. James Gomez and Dr Robin. Ramcharan. The group then participated in a team building scavenger hunt to help them work together and learn to navigate Bangkok.
\r\n
Classroom sessions during the first week were focused on understanding the marketing and communication strategies for businesses. Bamboo Labs, a social media and digital marketing start-up introduced students to their latest software designed to help people who are learning English. They introduced their product and discussed some of the challenges in getting it to the target markets. Students also participated in a session facilitated by Brice Degeyter from The Football Agency, asports sponsorship and activation company using the platform of football to attract, connect and engage with the consumers in Asia.
\r\n
Beyond the classroom, students were able to network with journalists, political commentators and academics at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand. The highlight of the event was a panel discussion on Religious Tolerance in Thailand featuring Mrs Angkhana Neelapaijit, a Commissioner from the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand.
\r\n
They also visited the ASEAN Cultural Centre which provided an excellent introduction to the diversity of the region and the historical linkages between Southeast Asian countries through trade as well as the spread of religion and colonisation. Beyond the fun of the interactive exhibitions on national costumes and glimpses into the food and flavours of Southeast Asia, the visit also provided critical information on the populations, politics and present day conditions in the region.
\r\n
Their introduction to the Thai media landscape came in the form of a visit to Voice TV, one of the country''s most popular news and variety channels. Students got the opportunity to tour the studios, witness a live broadcast and field their questions to Voice TV’s lead news anchor Teerat Ratanasevi.
\r\n
Week one of the workshop rounded off with students pitching their projects to their advisors who provided advice and critique on their objectives and strategies for carrying out their multimedia projects.
\r\n
In the second week of the workshop, a visit to the Thai Public Broadcasting Service allowed students to understand some of the challenges of producing critical content in the context of shrinking civil and political space for discourse. They also toured the studios and spoke with staff in the television and radio broadcasting departments. They were able to network with students and faculty at Stenden University, Thailand during a discussion on academic and industry collaboration.
\r\n
Students spent much of the week venturing out into the big city to conduct their interviews and take photos and videos for their final project. Navigating the bustling alleyways of Chinatown was an excellent opportunity to understand the dynamics of the different communities within Bangkok and to contemplate the impact of China on the region. They also toured areas relevant to their particular subject matter.
\r\n
\r\nAt the end of the week the students presented their findings to a panel of experts including journalists, media and communications experts and lecturers. The topics covered in the multimedia projects displayed a diverse and nuanced appreciation of Bangkok, from its train system to the everyday experiences of Muslim minorities and the off the beaten track adventures of backpackers. Presented through storytelling, short videos and photo essays, the students also made efforts to uncover lessons that could apply to their own lives in Bangladesh, from developing Bangladesh as the next budget travel hotspot to inclusive urban planning strategies.
\r\n
\r\nThe workshop was structured to include learning and practical components with in-class activities complemented by learning visits to media companies and opportunities to network and interact with industry professionals. At the end to two weeks the students displayed critical thinking, developed insight into the media landscape and understood the context surrounding each story. They also demonstrated their professional skills and competencies in interviewing, photography and video editing in the execution of their projects.
\r\n
Asia Centre will be running the Media & Communications Workshop on a regular basis, if you are interested in honing your professional skills as a budding journalist, building your network in media and communications and learning to think critically about issues facing the region, sign up for our next workshop from 9-20th January 2017.

Nationalism, Citizenship and Statelessness: Current Issues and Developments in Asia
\r\n\r\n
On 18 January 2017, Asia Centre will be convening the Benedict Anderson 1st Anniversary Memorial Roundtable to discuss contemporary issues surrounding nationalism, citizenship and statelessness across Asia. Nationalism remains a powerful force in current times as it fuels growth from the 54 states of UN in 1945 to 193 members to date. In the wake of Brexit and the Trump victory, it is driving energies in Scotland, Catalonia and elsewhere. As a result, states are seeking to keep strong control over citizenship and immigration while enacting laws to render political opponents and vulnerable people stateless in the name of security. This Roundtable seeks to reflect on and discuss these issues in the context of contemporary developments in Asia such as the Chakmas in India, Uyghurs in China, Rohingyas in Myanmar, Hmong in Laos and others. This event follows our inaugural memorial Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute to Benedict Anderson held on 30 January 2016 at the Asia Centre. The Roundtable is organised to celebrate the memory, life and work of Professor Benedict Anderson a well known academic who engaged in these issues.

The Benedict Anderson 1st Anniversary Memorial Roundtable was a tribute to the life and legacy\r\nof the late professor. Centring on the topic Nationalism, Citizenship and Statelessness: Current Issues and Developments in Asia, the discussion attracted an audience of some 65 people, and featured a panel of diverse expertise. This event follows our inaugural memorial Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute to Benedict Anderson held on 30 January 2016, and will be an annual feature in the Asia Centre calendar.
\r\n
\r\n
Professor Kenneth Christie of Royal Roads University in British Columbia, Canada, and an expert on peace, development and security, provided an overview of Anderson’s concept of “imagined communities”. The point was made that the nation-state and nationalism are modern constructions. Citizenship entailed a sense of shared community among diverse peoples with common values and rights. The construction of shared communities was a global phenomenon as Anderson sought to show in his comparisons of nationalist experiments around the world.
\r\n
Ms Chontida Auikool, a lecturer from Thammasat University’s ASEAN-China programme provided insight into the Indonesian Chinese community’s struggle for inclusion and integration, and how anti-Chinese sentiment plays out in contemporary developments.
\r\n
Maritime nomadic communities in the region who face inter-generational statelessness are often rendered invisible according to Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN) Senior Programme Officer Ms. Helen Brunt. Using a case study of the communities in the Sulu Zone, she argued that migration flows in the region predate the development of nation states, a legacy that contributes to statelessness. Their lack of documentation and being labelled ‘illegal migrants’ condemns them to continued discrimination.
\r\n
\r\nDr. Kevin Downey, a lecturer at Thammasat University and expert on political development, identity, civil society, and democratization in South and Southeast Asia discussed the lack of causal explanations for negative views on immigrants, ‘the other side of statelessness’. He went on to offer a hypothesis premised on the notion of insecurity and precarity in the era of globalisation, which features many dislocations and rising economic inequality.
\r\n
In the question and answer period moderated by Asia Centre’s Dr. Robin Ramcharan, potential flashpoints were mentioned. The two that were highlighted are: Rakhine State in Myanmar and the rise of intolerance in Indonesia. These are areas to monitor going forward, despite progress in democratizing both countries.
\r\n
A Life Beyond Boundaries
\r\n
The event also saw the Bangkok launch of Anderson’s memoir A Life Beyond Boundaries. Anderson defied his contemporaries by "globalizing" the study of nationalism and engaging in comparisons of seemingly disparate nation-states. In this work he also critically assesses the nation-state as a unit of analysis, noting that people globally formed communities around a great variety of interests that transcended boundaries and nations.

The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150x150 image, which is left aligned.\r\n\r\nAs you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we''ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it''s thang.

\r\n\r\nAnd now we''re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there... Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don''t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don''t let anyone else tell you differently.\r\n\r\nIn just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely.

\r\n\r\nDebating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson\r\n\r\nBenedict Anderson’s seminal work “Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism” revolutionised our understanding of nationalism. Anderson saw the nationalism as a force that was integrative and imaginative; allowing us to build camaraderie with strangers. While other academics took a negative view of the subject, linking nationalism with fear, notions of ‘the other’ and racism; Anderson postulated that nationalism was also a positive force for integration and solidarity.\r\n\r\nIn a globalised world that is struggling to grapple with migration, climate change, economic integration, refugees and displaced populations just to name a few, this debate on nationalism and the notion of ‘imagined communities’ remains relevant today 32 years after its publication.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to join us for a debate and discussion on Imagined Communities in remembrance of Benedict Anderson.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Benedict Anderson\r\n\r\n
Benedict Anderson (26 August 1936 – 13 December 2015) was best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66, which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nImagined Communities\r\nAnderson coined the term ‘imagined communities’ positing that that the nation was an imagined political community that arose as a result of the interplay between capitalism and the rise of the printing press. Anderson argued that within the nation ‘horizontal comradeship’ or a sense of fraternity was shared by people who did not know each other and who shared the same notion of belonging to a nation despite the existence of inequalities and oppression between groups. He wrote, “Ultimately it is this fraternity that makes it possible, over the past two centuries, for so many millions of people, not so much to kill, as willingly to die for such limited imaginings.”\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRSVP at Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson Facebook Page', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'debating-imagined-communities-a-tribute-to-benedict-anderson', '', '', '2016-02-14 10:24:08', '2016-02-14 10:24:08', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?post_type=event&p=2188', 0, 'event', '', 0),

\r\n\r\nThe "Kachin Conflict" in Northern Myanmar: Roots and Shifting Contexts\r\n\r\nAsia Centre is pleased to announce the launch of its Saturday monthly seminar series starting this February.The goal of the Seminar Series is to convene a local forum for cross-disciplinary multi-dimensional interaction to discuss issues facing us in the region and beyond.\r\n\r\nEach seminar will be centred on a core theme or a hot topic issue. We will be featuring speakers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, who will draw on their own personal experiences to show how the theme or topic has shaped their work. Speakers will have 30 - 45 mins to present followed by an interactive discussion and Q&A with the audience.\r\n\r\nThis monthly seminar series happens on a Saturday and is designed to bring people together in a laid back social setting, it’s Saturday after all.\r\n\r\nTo start off the Seminar Series we will be commemorating World Social Justice Day by focusing on conflict, resolution and the prospects of reconciliation in Kachin State in Myanmar. Kachin State is one of the few remaining terrains of on-going fighting in Myanmar in 2016. We will begin by looking at the roots and historical context of the Kachin conflict before discussing the intersectionality between the ethnic conflict and socio-political as well as religious dimensions.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSpeaker\r\n\r\n
Dr Karin Dean has extensive experience researching the conflict on the ground. She also worked with the Henry Dunant Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, a second track conflict resolution organization, which tried to bring the three parties to conflict together to facilitate a peace process.She will share her fieldwork experience as well her insight into the conflict resolution process.', 'The "Kachin Conflict" in Northern Myanmar: Roots and Shifting Contexts', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'kachin', '', '', '2016-12-22 06:47:36', '2016-12-22 06:47:36', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?post_type=event&p=2266', 0, 'event', '', 0),

Our Debate Panel[/caption]\r\n\r\nAnderson’s Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism revolutionised our understanding of nationalism. We revisited the discourse on the subject by debating the motion “This House Believes That Nationalism Can Be A Force For Good”. Proposing the motion was Professor Lipi Ghosh, Director for the Centre for South & Southeast Asian Studies, University of Calcutta and Professor Sean Matthews, Head of School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia). On the opposition there was Professor Coeli Barry, Chair of the Masters Programme in Human Rights, Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University and Professor Zaharom Naim, School of Modern Languages & Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIt was a rousing and engaging debate which raised some important questions about our 
understanding of nationalism, its'' continued relevance in contemporary society as well as alternatives ideologies that could be used to foster the development of ‘imagined communities’. The debate then opened to the floor for members of the audience to share their own thoughts, analysis and to pose questions to the debate panel. Both teams put up a good fight and ultimately, the outcome of the debate was determined by the audience who voted in favour of the Opposition.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2289" align="alignleft" width="300"]
Prof. Charnvit launches Prof. Lipi Ghosh''s book "India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links To Contemporary Convergences"[/caption]\r\n\r\nWe were also pleased to be able to host the Bangkok launch of Prof. Lipi Ghosh’s new book India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links to Contemporary Convergences. Prof Ghosh’s work centres on India’s pivot towards Southeast Asia and examines how India’s relationship with countries in the region has developed and evolved over time.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe final segment of the programme was the Open Mic session where we were presented with two very interesting takes on the topic of nationalism. Poet, teacher and public speaker, Ms Puja Singh talked about her experiences as an ethnic minority in Nepal and how this shaped her identity and perspective. Mr Otgonbaatar, a Mahidol University student who is originally from Mongolia, played a Mongolian pop-song that drew on the celebrity of the country''s leading singers along with imagery of its glorious past and evocative song lyrics to raise national sentiment. Dr Kenneth Houston, then closed the event by sharing some of his own personal experiences with nationalism in the context of Ireland’s tumultuous history.\r\n\r\n\r\n
The debate and open mic session were a wonderful platform to engage with Anderson’s work. Today some 32 years after its initial publication, the issues raised in Imagined Communities remain relevant in a globalised world that is struggling to grapple with increasingly cross-border and transnational problems.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAbout Benedict Anderson\r\n\r\nBenedict Anderson (26 August 1936 – 13 December 2015) was best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66; which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'debating-imagined-communities-a-tribute-to-benedict-anderson', '', '', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '2016-02-04 07:09:24', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?p=2284', 0, 'post', '', 0),

\r\n\r\nSince its independence in 1965, Singapore has been continuously governed by the People''s Action Party (PAP) as it won every General Election. In the 2011 General Election, the PAP won 60.1% of the valid votes the lowest in its entire election history fueling discussion of political change in the city-state. But in the 2015 General Election, the PAP dramatically increased their vote share to 69.9% of the valid ballots cast, surprising even some of its own party candidates. Is the PAP''s landslide victory at the recent polls irrefutable proof that Singaporeans still want the PAP to stay in power indefinitely? Has the PAP won elections fair and square? Jeannette, an opposition politician who contested against the PAP candidate in both the 2011 and 2015 General Election, offers her perspective of politics in Singapore.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSpeaker\r\n\r\n

She will be joined by a panel of speakers who have been active in documenting and reporting on the practice.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the Speaker:\r\n
Singapore is not the political utopia that it projects itself to be. Beneath the veneer, lies a dystopia of political repression, self-censorship and culture of fear. This was the nub of Jeannette Aruldoss’ presentation at Asia Centre on 19 March 2016.\r\n\r\nAruldoss, a lawyer and an opposition candidate of two election campaigns, shared some of her personal experiences from campaigning in 2011 and 2015 and provided a succinct overview of the political system and raised questions about its efficacy.\r\n\r\nThe lingering question after the latest elections of 2015 was if politics in Singapore was going to change, or would be status quo with the current ruling party being in power indefinitely? And if the Singapore citizen wants the current ruling party, should there be opposition efforts aimed at bringing about change?\r\n\r\nSome 30 odd attendees came with a healthy dose of scepticism as well as support for the city-state. Jeannette Aruldoss’ cutting critique of the PAP’s landslide victory in the 2015 elections both engaged and provoked questions from the mixed audience during the lively Q&A session.\r\n\r\nIn the April edition of the Asia Centre Seminar Series, we explore the practice of female genital mutilation(FGM) and how it is documented and portrayed in the media. Entering Femininity: Reporting Rituals & Violations happens on 30th April (Saturday) from 9.30am to 12noon at Asia Centre.

\r\n\r\nMalaysia’s Singleparty Dominance:Can it Survive the IMDB Financial Scandal?\r\n\r\nA momentous financial scandal broke in Malaysia in mid 2015. It has involved a strategic development company, 1MDB (One Malaysia Development Corp), owned by the Ministry of Finance and with an advisory board chaired by the Prime Minister and First Finance Minister, Najib Tun Razak. 1MDB’s losses are unprecedented in their amounts, by some estimates ranging upwards of US$15bn. International media coverage and investigations are unprecedented too in their tracing some of the missing funds directly into Najib’s personal accounts. Mass protests over the scandal have taken place, demanding that Najib resign. Elites have split, with former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad mobilizing a ‘Save Malaysia Movement’. 1MDB has thus been cast by journalists as the ‘death knell’ for Najib fueling widespread expectations over his ouster, perhaps coinciding with major reforms.\r\n\r\nThis seminar begins by enumerating the institutional sources or political stability in Malaysia, especially the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), the country’s dominant party. Next, it charts the extraordinary pressures on Najib, and the regime and that 1MDB has unleashed. But it concludes by showing how Najib, by making ruthless new use of institutions, has survived in office and deepened authoritarian rule.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAbout the Speaker:\r\n\r\n

a holistic arts education that integrates a dynamic process of social engagement, public participation with others and the community. In Asia this movement of socially engaged, public participative and community art is gaining traction, albeit with different agendas at play with some universities initiating courses, the Art & Society Research Centre in Tokyo (http://searesearchlab.org/) initiating a lab on Socially Engaged/Community Art, and the National Arts Council of Singapore creating a department for Community and the Arts. We are also seeing more cross-disciplinary research and collaboration between artists, health workers, theatre groups, NGOs and the academia on art and cultural projects.

violations. Yet, with the possible exception of Cambodia, the perpetrators have not been brought to justice and efforts to find out the truth and ascertain responsibilities have proven elusive. The journalists and human rights defenders\r\nho fight for accountability too often become victims themselves. At the same time, all across the region there are movements challenging denial and impunity, and employing various strategies to demand accountability. New generations are also emerging with a desire for knowing and reckoning with the past in order to shape a rights-based future for their country. \r\nWhile the contexts and abuses may differ, there are common spaces and strategies to tap on. This panel will focus on efforts at accountability in the region and will consider some of the following questions. What strategies are being employed? What choices and compromises; if any, are being made? What alliances are being formed? What is the synergy between efforts at the national, regional and international levels?

Alexander Demetrianova discussing the practice of ''emorata'' by the Maasai.[/caption]\r\n\r\nWorldwide more than 300 million girls and women are “cut” under different interpretations and in different severity. But in most cases, FGM is a very important ritual, ancestral knowledge and practice. It allows girls to gain a status in their community and further enables them to elevate to other positions in life of a woman – to marry and have children. So FGM more than anything else, defines femininity and women.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2681" align="alignright" width="448"]
Skype interview with Gabrielle Paluch.[/caption]\r\n\r\nHowever, informed consent is in the absolute majority of cases not given by the very young, often infant, girls to be circumcised. Across Africa, parts of Middle East and even Southeast Asia, even much older women, who had been cut years ago, know only as much as their culture and tradition have taught them about female circumcision. It is an integral part of life, marriage, sexuality and community, but most advocates for female circumcision are not aware of the great health issues and harm it brings to women and girls. The session also featured a live Skype interview with multi-media journalist Gabrielle Paluch who shared her experience researching and reporting on FGM in Southern Thailand.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe Bangkok audience at the seminar concluded that in order to eradicate the cut and mutilation, communities and cultures need to re-examine and transform the way they understand femininity and role of women. To preserve women’s right to take informed decisions about their own bodies, there is a need to break the taboo and open FGM for further discussion. A critical discussion about this practice is a taboo in most countries where it is prevalent, hence Asia Centre was pleased to host this talk to discuss the topic.', 'Entering Femininity: Reporting Rituals and Violations', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'entering-femininity-reporting-rituals-and-violations', '', '', '2016-07-26 06:38:24', '2016-07-26 06:38:24', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?p=2678', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a mechanism under the Human Rights Council that reviews the human rights situation in all 193 UN Member States once every four and a half years. All ASEAN states have undergone two review cycles of their respective human rights situations under the process. But how effective has the process been in improving the regional human rights situation.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis panel discussion will focus on the effectiveness of the UPR in strengthening human rights in the region. It will delve into how effective the UPR has been in unearthing and highlighting key human rights issues, how we can improve process of implementing UPR recommendations and follow up processes to ensure key issues remain on the agenda in the 3rd cycle. It will consider the role that civil society organisations, national human rights institutions and the ASEAN human rights mechanisms play in monitoring implementation, highlighting issues and pushing for change.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis panel discussion comes at the end of Asia Centre’s two day conference; Universal Periodic Review: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment.

Silvia Waldbach is doing a research internship at Asia Centre from September to December 2016. The focus of her research is on national human rights institutions in Southeast Asia and their engagement with the Universal Periodic Review process. She is in the last year of a bachelors degree in International Cultural and Business Studies with focus on Southeast Asia, at the University of Passau, Germany.\r\n\r\nShe decided to do an internship at Asia Centre because she wants to deepen her knowledge of contemporary Southeast Asian issues and improve her research, writing and organizing skills. She also enjoys working in an international work environment with various kinds of stakeholders from international and local civil society, to academia and the private sector. In her free time, Silvia likes spending time in nature, going to concerts, travelling and cooking.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAnna Jeffries\r\n\r\nAnna Jeffries is here at Asia Centre from July through September 2

The UPR has been an effective mechanism for putting human rights issues on the agenda and engaging States in conversation about critical issues. However, systemic problems remain with regards to engagement with other stakeholders, the implementation of recommendations by governments, the efficacy of follow up processes and the UPR’s ability to address hard political issues. These were key takeaways from Asia Centre’s conference, Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment, held from 15 to 17 September 2016 at Asia Centre’s premises in Bangkok.
\r\n
including members of civil society organisation, national human rights institutions, academia, the United Nations, as well as students. Some of the key discussion points to emerge from the first day of discourse, included the value of the UPR as a platform for dialogue, interaction with other UN and regional human rights mechanisms, patterns of enhanced CSO engagement with the process as well as the role that other stakeholders such national human rights institutions can play in monitoring the implementation of recommendations.
so issue specific discussions on the role of the UPR in pushing for the abolition of the death penalty and the efficacy of the process in addressing past human rights abuses in Timor-Leste.
The second day of the conference saw more in-depth discussion on how specific countries were engaging on contentious issues. This covered freedom of expression in Thailand, freedom of religion and belief in Indonesia and civil and political rights in Singapore. The discussion on how minority rights were raised under the UPR centred on the experiences of the Hmong community in Laos as well as a regional overview of the particular challenges faced by LGBTIQ human rights, defenders prepared by Destination Justice. One critical discussion point on day two 
was the approach to engagement, with the Lutheran World Federation backing making the most of the non-confrontational nature of the UPR dialogue to push for solutions rather than naming and shaming. The plenary session provided an overview of emerging patterns and trends in interaction with the UPR such as greater CSO participation and coalition building efforts.It also called into question the efficacy of mid-term reporting and follow up processes. 
The final day of the conference was an open forum discussion titled Southeast Asia & the UPR: All Talk & No Action? This session was open to members of the public and it attracted an audience over 25 people. The panel featured Imesh Pokharel from Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights(OHCHR) Regional Office Bangkok, Michael J V White from the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Celine Martin from Destination Justice and Gymbay Moua from the World Congress of Hmong People. The panelists shared their first hand experiences of engaging with the UPR process, highlighting key challenges faced and offering input on some of the best practices from their respective organisations. It was a very interactive discussion, moderated by Asia Centre’s Robin Ramcharan and it provided a unique entry point into the UPR for members of the public who were interested in understanding the process.

From the buzz in the air and eagerness to embark on the next step of engagement through volunteering, internships and collaborative ventures, Spark Sessions is set to become a regular feature on the Asia Centre calendar.
From October 14 to 17 2016, Asia Centre in partnership with International Forum for Inter-Media Art and Brack organised a cross-sector collaboration workshop. Conceptualised by Asia Centre Associate and iFima founder Dr Jay Koh, the 4 day conference cum workshop; explored how to stir civic consciousness and foster open social structures through public participation and engagement.
The following two days of the conference proper featured panel discussions designed to facilitate critical engagement. Presenters gave short presentations on their research and projects, this was followed by feedback and input from respondents before the discussion was open to the floor for further input. Each panel explored a different aspect of artistic engagement, praxis and research, covering the following areas:
\r\nContemporising Art History with Current Practices
The final day featured a participant-led workshop using Open Space and World Cafe methods of participative and consultative processes. Participants then explored two case studies of collaborative projects, the first being the Bangkok based 3C - Canal, Cycling, Community project designed to engage the community living by the canal through art and cycling. The second case study considered was a research project on Art in Action, focused on using art strategies to initiate, support and engage social transformations.
Classroom sessions during the first week were focused on understanding the marketing and communication strategies for businesses. Bamboo Labs, a social media and digital marketing start-up introduced students to their latest software designed to help people who are learning English. They introduced their product and discussed some of the challenges in getting it to the target markets. Students also participated in a session facilitated by Brice Degeyter from The Football Agency, a sports sponsorship and activation company using the platform of football to attract, connect and engage with the consumers in Asia.
which provided an excellent introduction to the diversity of the region and the historical linkages between Southeast Asian countries through trade as well as the spread of religion and colonisation. Beyond the fun of the interactive exhibitions on national costumes and glimpses into the food and flavours of Southeast Asia, the visit also provided critical information on the populations, politics and present day conditions in the region.
At the end of the week the students presented their findings to a panel of experts including journalists, media and communications experts and lecturers. The topics covered in the multimedia projects displayed a diverse and nuanced appreciation of Bangkok, from its train system to the everyday experiences of Muslim minorities and the off the beaten track adventures of backpackers. Presented through storytelling, short videos and photo essays, the students also made efforts to uncover lessons that could apply to their own lives in Bangladesh, from developing Bangladesh as the next budget travel hotspot to inclusive urban planning strategies.

Clinton’s emails, how the rhetoric of the campaign was being received outside US and the continued viability of a two party system given Trump’s candidacy on the Republican party. Much attention was also focused on the rise of highly populist political discourse in an age of austerity and the willingness of the disaffected and disenfranchised middle classes to accept post-factual discourse, often driven by a “fake news” originating over social media.

In the question and answer period moderated by Asia Centre’s Dr. Robin Ramcharan, potential flashpoints were mentioned. The two that were highlighted are: Rakhine State in Myanmar and the rise of intolerance in Indonesia. These are areas to monitor going forward, despite progress in democratizing both countries.
A Life Beyond Boundaries. Anderson defied his contemporaries by "globalizing" the study of nationalism and engaging in comparisons of seemingly disparate nation-states.
