Fact-Finding Mission Report Findings, August 2017
As ASEAN’s regional integration effort proceeds, the movement of people across borders for a variety of reasons is increasing, and migration has remained intrinsically tied to economic development region-wide. Given this context, APHR conducted a fact-finding mission to Malaysia to examine the situation of human rights in the context of intra-regional migration and gain a clearer understanding of the situation for migrant workers, refugees and asylum seekers, and victims of human trafficking. This report a summary of the delegation’s observations from the visit and recommendations for how Malaysia, other regional governments, and ASEAN as a whole can best address some of the main concerns identified.
