Report, October 2020

The report found that while ASEAN’s actions have marked a significant departure from the bloc’s usual insistence on non-interference, they have mostly been ineffective, if not deeply problematic, for reasons that include a chronic lack of leadership as well as a reluctance to acknowledge its underlying human rights dimensions.
