Socialisation. Institutionalisation. Legitimisation.
Edmund Bon shared with Bursa Malaysia about the legal risks associated with human rights and the status of Malaysia’s National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Liew Vui Keong, spearheaded many important human rights initiatives, including the development of a National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights (NAP BHR).
What does human rights diplomacy mean?
Partnering CSOs to craft the human rights narrative in Southeast Asia.
Edmund Bon, Representative of Malaysia to AICHR, said that the rights of an accused person in a criminal case are fundamental to ensuring that he or she receives a fair trial. He added that certain fair trial rights are expressly enshrined in Articles 5 and 20 of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration.
Edmund Bon stated that given the contributions that AICHR has made to operationalise human rights principles and practices in the region, he personally felt that AICHR is ready to more proactively respond to the pressing human rights issues facing the region as a fully-fledged Commission.
A “whole-of-ASEAN approach” is needed to deal with the Rakhine State crisis.
A fresh initiative to conduct a nationwide mapping of aboriginal and native community land boundaries should be mandatory.
The conduct of our Executive and Legislative arms of government cannot escape the scrutiny of the Judiciary.
Edmund Bon, Representative of Malaysia to AICHR, said that it is time for AICHR to step up its efforts to advance its protection mandate. He added that AICHR’s Representatives must be bold, and hold fast to their terms of work to be independent yet consultative.
Edmund Bon urged AICHR to establish a procedure to respond to communications, consistent with ASEAN principles of unity, centrality and non-interference. He offered Malaysia’s services to draft a proposal to operationalise AICHR’s communications procedure for AICHR’s consideration.
AICHR sedang giat menggalakkan Negara-Negara Anggota ASEAN untuk meratifikasikan triti-triti antarabangsa berkenaan hak asasi manusia, dan membina pendekatan bersama berkenaan hal-hal hak asasi manusia yang berkepentingan kepada ASEAN.
Our Federal Constitution provides a rights-based framework regarding life and liberty, movement, speech, assembly, association, religion, property, and others. In charting our shared future together, the Constitution and the AHRD serve to aid us in navigating the emerging challenges. We must open new channels of constructive communication, and embrace a shared vision of purpose and progress.
The country is lurching from crisis to crisis.
Jika kita berganding bahu, rakyat Malaysia boleh mencapai jauh lebih banyak.
Vote, give feedback, get involved. Young lawyers with a longer runway have a bigger stake in shaping our shared future.
Why do strategic litigation? Edmund calls on young lawyers to “build a just society where each individual can live with dignity and without fear”.
