Abstract
In the first issue of this month’s NTS Alert, the importance of a robust human rights framework to complement international humanitarian law, and address its shortcomings in protecting civilians caught up in intrastate conflict and violence in Southeast Asia, was explored. Against this backdrop, this issue of the NTS Alert examines the potential for the recently established ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) to enhance civilian protection through a human rights framework.
