| Title | Freedom of Expression in ASEAN: Contextualizing Freedom of Expression in Terms of ASEAN Values |
| Summary | Freedom of expression is one of the fundamental human rights. Countries have different appreciation of this right but varies in terms of its protection and implementation. This thesis focuses on how the right to freedom of expression is regarded in a regional setting, more particularly, the ASEAN Region and its values. While Member States in the ASEAN supported the rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, an ASEAN regional response to the protection of the right to freedom of expression remains indefinable. As such, this study examines how the ASEAN contextualizes its international and domestic obligations under the freedom of expression in relation to the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration’s provision stating that “realization of human rights must be considered in the regional and national context bearing in mind different political, economic, legal, social, cultural, historical and religious backgrounds.” |
