Ratification Status of Various Human Rights Treaties by Southeast Asian Countries

I made this file for personal use. I think maybe I will need it somewhere in the future. I decide to share this because I think this can come in handy for other people. If you come across any update or mistakes, please let me know.

Go here for the dropbox link.

A brief note:

I need to make my remarks on the reservations and declarations as brief as possible, so the wordings are not really accurate. If you want to get accurate wordings of the reservations and declarations you can go: http://treaties.un.org/Pages/Treaties.aspx?id=4 which is the main source I use for this document.

Briefing Note on ASEAN Human Rights Mechanism

Several weeks ago, I attended a training on ASEAN Human Rights Mechanism. The facilitator, Yuyun Wahyuningrum, is a prominent human rights activist from a Jakarta-based NGO, Human Rights Working Group (HRWG). The training was really useful for me and I believe that it is important for anyone interested in working in developing human rights agenda in the region. Herewith I am attaching a link to the briefing note of the training. I hope this can be useful for you:
