Policy Roundtable on Civilian Protection
(9 February 2010)
The RSIS Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies will be hosting 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 will provide 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 explore opportunities on how this can be promoted and achieved within the ASEAN region.

The 3rd NTS-Asia Annual Convention
The 3rd Consortium of Non-Traditional Security Studies in Asia (NTS-Asia) Annual Convention organised by the NTS-Asia Secretariat, based in the Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), allowed consortium members to take stock of the group’s activities for the year and to chart directions for the future. The convention also gave members an opportunity to discuss prevailing non-traditional security (NTS) issues affecting the region, particularly with respect to the problems of climate change, natural disasters, conflict and crime, the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP), and an assortment of various other issues affecting Asia.
