The recently established Human Rights Resource Centre for ASEAN has announced that it has embarked on a study analysing the legal framework supporting human rights in ASEAN's 10 member states, an early step in the efforts of human rights activists to spell out the bloc's ? and Cambodia's ? commitment to human rights. The report's lead author, Assistant Professor Mahdev Mohan, said the centre's report would seek to give clearer meaning to the principles of ?rule of law and good governance? and ?respect for and protection of human rights?.
