Justification The common problems faced by regional inter-governmental
bodies, including ASEAN: a) institutional deficiencies as a result of the inability of member
states to empower their organizations with real authority/mandate todeal inter aliawith political instability, poverty, and human rights
violations; and b) the alienation of citizens from making their voice heard in political
deliberations.
In fact, the ASEAN Charter sets out the norms of behavior formember states in relation to their citizens.
The Charter and the Roadmap for the ASEAN Community,
ASEAN is expected to perform in a more transparent,accountable, efficient, predictable, responsive and people-orientedway
Article 7.1 (TOR AICHR) mandates ASG to bring the attention ofAICHR on human rights issues in the region
