“This book offers valuable insights into the development of human rights norms and mechanisms in ASEAN, stressing the role of regional non-state actors, who are often neglected in the literature on ASEAN regionalism. It makes an important contribution to the growing complexity of ASEAN studies, to the study of human rights, as well as to the Constructivist literature on norm diffusion from a non-Western perspective.” – Amitav Acharya, American University, Washington, D. C., USA This book explains how the ASEAN regional human rights body (AICHR) was created and why it functioned with a promotional rather than protection mandate. It does this by positioning itself within a sizable literature on norm diffusion, and introduces the concept of “Norm Interpreters” to explain what happens when global human rights norms are adopted/adapted within a local context, particularly highlighting the role of a group of individuals in the process. In this respect it adds to the International Relations literature on norm diffusion and the Southeast Asian region specific literature on ASEAN regionalism and AICHR.

Der Fall Colonia Dignidad ist eines der dunkelsten Kapitel der bundesdeutschen Geschichte und bis heute in großen Teilen nicht aufgearbeitet. In der von deutschen Staatsbürgern in Chile gegründeten Siedlung wurde zwischen 1961 und 2005 missbraucht, misshandelt, gefoltert und gemordet. Medien und Menschenrechtsorganisationen berichteten früh darüber, das Auswärtige Amt und die bundesdeutsche Justiz schritten jedoch nicht ein. Jan Stehle hat hierzu in umfangreichen Recherchen Primärquellen aus Behörden- und Privatarchiven erschlossen. Er rekonstruiert detailliert die Verbrechen sowie das respektive Behördenverhalten und legt die Mitverantwortung von Bundesbehörden für die schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen der Colonia Dignidad offen.

Utilizing the ethos of human rights, this insightful book captures the development of the moral imagination of these rights through history, culture, politics, and society. Moving beyond the focus on legal protections, it draws attention to the foundation and understanding of rights from theoretical, philosophical, political, psychological, and spiritual perspectives. The book surveys the changing ethos of human rights in the modern world and traces its recent histories and process of change, delineating the ethical, moral, and intellectual shifts in the field. Chapters incorporate and contribute to the debates around the ethics of care, considering some of the more challenging philosophical and practical questions. It highlights how human rights thinkers have sought to translate the ideals that are embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into action and practice. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book will be critical reading for scholars and students of human rights, international relations, and philosophy. Its focus on potential answers, approaches, and practices to further the cause of human rights will also be useful for activists, NGOs, and policy makers in these fields.
