ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human
Rights (APHR) is a network of current and former legislators working to
strengthen human rights and democracy in Southeast Asia. APHR supports its
members through various means as they use their unique positions to highlight
human rights concerns and strengthen the voices of civil society actors around
ASEAN.
Our Mission is to contribute, through
the unique role of parliamentarians, to the strengthening of human rights
promotions and protections, as
governed by international law and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and
the strengthening of democracy and its component institutions within ASEAN and
its individual member states.
