Also, the benefits of an Asian Human Rights UN-Connected Commission would include the following:
· Legitimizing and building a dialogue around human rights standards
· Creation of international and domestic goodwill
· Education of citizens, states, corporations, and organizations on the importance of respecting human rights
· Entitlement of individuals to go to local international forums
The success of Human Rights Commissions in the Americas, Africa, and Europe is a promising template that Asia should follow. For example, one of the discussion results has been voting by all those incarcerated.
Thus, your leadership is crucial to bringing about a Commission in Asia, the only continent that does not have this most important and most needed entity.
