Membership Application Form

By submitting this form, I hereby commit to:

• Promote the values and principles stated in the preamble of APHR's Charter, namely that:
  • Human rights concerns transcend national interests;
  • Human rights are central to and indivisible from ASEAN's economic and political aspirations;
  • All Southeast Asian nations have a role to play in resolving human rights concerns in the region;
  • ASEAN is no greater than the sum of its parts;
  • ASEAN's non-interference policy is a barrier to human rights protections recognized under international law and relevant treaties ratified by individual states; and
  • ASEAN needs to develop a comprehensive regional human rights mechanism to which all member states should be party and beholden to.
• Refrain from promoting, encouraging or taking actions that undermine international human rights norms and standards and/or undermine the image and reputation of APHR;
• Not engage in hate speech, support for violence, discriminatory practices, or any actions that undermine or violate the human rights of others;
• Promoting, respecting and protecting international human rights law and standards, their universality and indivisibility;
• Respect the rights and dignity of all APHR staff, members, and partners at all times;
• Advance gender sensitive behavior, practices and norms at all times;
