On 13-15 August 2025, the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), in partnership with ASEAN-IPR, and with the support of UN Women, Canada, the UK and the Asia-Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, convened Workshops 2-4 on the Intersection between Conflict and Human Rights. The workshops aimed to strengthen ASEAN’s pathways and conceptual frameworks for peace, conflict management, prevention, resolution, and recovery. During the workshops, the Executive Director and the ASEAN-IPR Secretariat team also took part as speakers and moderators in several sessions. #ASEAN #ASEAN_IPR #PeaceBuilding #ASEAN4Peace #ForgingandFosteringPeace #HumanRights #AICHR
