Policy Roundtable on Civilian Protection

The RSIS Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies hosted a one-day, closed-door, policy roundtable discussion comprising legal experts and regional civil society organisations working on civilian protection. With the recent creation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights, a space for dialogue has been created to discuss the definition and implementation of civilian protection. The policy roundtable provided a platform for the presentation of viewpoints and recommendations for discussion and debate on the issue of the protection of civilians within Southeast Asia and explored opportunities on how this can be promoted and achieved within the ASEAN region.
