Let us be reminded that whilst humanitarian
assistance is needed, RtoP is the fundamental tool required in the defense of
human rights abuses and violations. The Declaration of Human Rights, the ASEAN
CHARTER & ASEAN HUMAN RIGHTS DECLARATION is clear on the issue of human
rights protection. ASEAN's intention to establish an ASEAN Community would be
meaningless if it ignores human rights abuses & violations. This is the
only way available to stop mass atrocities. We must also accept that state
sponsored atrocities require a rethinking of non interference and the notion of
sovereignty. The lessons of Rwanda and Bosnia are before the global community
to act for the protection of civilian population facing risk.
