Description
SEAHRN is a consortium of human rights and peace academics and scholars from 22 university-based Southeast Asian institutions that conduct study programs, research and outreach activities on human rights, peace and conflict studies. To achieve the objective of creating a Southeast Asian culture based on human rights and peace principles, SEAHRN has been organizing the biennial SEAHRN International Conference on Human Rights and Peace in Southeast Asia since 2010. To date, we have brought together 1,200 academics, researchers, students, representatives from diplomatic missions, members of civil society organizations and members of government and inter-government agencies working on human rights and peace in the region.The SEAHRN was born out of a common dream to enhance and deepen the knowledge and understanding of students and educators as well as other individuals and institutions from Southeast Asia in human rights. This goal will be achieved by engaging in collaborative research, improving course curricula and training programmes, sharing of best practices and conducting capacity building training of educators, staff and students and other interested individuals and institutions. Furthermore, it seeks necessary regional academic and civil society cooperation to sustain the effective promotion and protection of human rights in the region. The network desires to open its doors to interested institutions and individuals who share its vision for human rights in Southeast Asia.
