SUMMARY:Call for Documentary Visual Documentary Project 2016 “Politics in Everyday Life in Southeast Asia”
DESCRIPTION:Southeast Asia is rich in its diversity of ethnic\, religious and cultural composition. The region has maintained the coexistence of such diversity while at the same time achieving economic progress and becoming a hub for the flow of people\, goods\, money and information. Yet at present\, the region is also confronted with serious issues such as the decrease of biodiversity and tropical forests\, disasters\, pandemics\, aging population\, ethnic and religious conflicts\, economic differentiation and poverty. In the face of this\, how is coexistence and sustainability possible despite the diversity that exists? How can we make public resources out of the region’ s social foundations which are the basis of people’ s everyday lives? And\, how can we connect these in a complementary way to existing systems of governance towards solving the problems and issues mentioned above? \nIn order to address these questions in the context of Southeast Asia\, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\, Kyoto University has initiated “Visual Documentary project” which explicitly examines everyday life through a visual approach since 2012. This project aims to use visual forms of expression to complement the growing literature that exists on Southeast Asian societies. From 2014\, the Japan Foundation Asia Center joins this project as co-organizer to help widely promote the richness of Southeast Asian cultures to people in Japan. As of 2016\, the project has linked up with numerous film schools in the region to help strengthen the documentary filmmaking network. \n

SUMMARY:Universal Periodic Review in Southeast Asia: An Evidence-Based Regional Assessment
DESCRIPTION:The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a universal mechanism under the Human Rights Council that reviews the human rights situation in all 193 UN Member States once every four and a half years. All Southeast Asian states have undergone two review cycles of their respective human rights situations under the UPR process. But what is the impact of the UPR on human rights in the region? And does the focus on constructive dialogue and the state-centric nature of the process help improve the situation? \nThe region is politically diverse with member states varying in their national human rights protection systems\, ratification of UN human rights instruments and level of civil society engagement. In relation to the UPR process\, a key issue is how it contributes to the advancement of human rights in the region and what role it plays in relation to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and national human rights institutions (NHRIs).This conference seeks to critically examine the UPR process through evidence-based research to evaluate its impact on Southeast Asian states and societies. \nThemes \nKey themes that will be treated are: \n\nEffectiveness of the UPR in addressing human rights protection gaps within Southeast Asia\nStates adherence to UPR recommendations for improving the protection capacities of AICHR\nStates adherence to UPR recommendations for improving the protection capacities of NHRIs.\nDevelopment of an intra-regional linkage to formally engage with the UPR process\nChallenges faced by civil society in engaging with the UPR process\nOther related themes\n\nObjectives \nThis conference aims to achieve the following objectives: \n\nConvene researchers working on human rights in Southeast Asia\nExchange views among the authors researching the UPR process in Southeast Asia\nPublish the outcomes in a special issue journal and/or an edited book\nContribute to the academic literature on the UPR and human rights in Southeast Asia\n\nConference Structure\nThe conference will consist of thematic panels\, country-specific discussions and a final plenary session which will be open to civil society groups\, international organisations\, government officials and the academic community to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking opportunities. \nConference Fee\nThis is a self-funded conference hence a fee of USD$200 will be charged to all participants\, this will go towards covering the cost of the venue\, equipment and logistics\, coffee breaks on all days\, certificates for participants\, and conference communications.\nThere will be an early bird discount rate of USD$150 for registration and full payment made before 15 July 2016.\nWe are also offering a special student rate of USD$75. \nSubmission Guidelines\nResearchers wishing to present papers are invited to submit an abstract of 300 words along with a short biographical paragraph\, in English to contact@asiacentre.co.th\nPayment of conference fees:31 July 2016 (For Early Bird Discount)\n1 August 2016 onwards (Regular Rate)\nFull paper submission: 1 September 2016 \nProgramme Outline\nDay 1 (15 September 2016): 9 am to 5 pm (Paper Presentations)\nDay 2 (16 September 2016): 9 am to 5 pm (Paper Presentations)\nDay 3 (17 September 2016): 9 am to 12 noon (Open Plenary)\nConveners: Professors James Gomez & Robin Ramcharan \nSource: http://asiacentre.co.th/event/universal-periodic-review-in-southeast-asia/ \n
