A variety of legal networks on human rights already exist in Asian jurisdictions, but there is no 1) regional; 2) representative; and 3) inclusive lawyers’ network on human rights practice in Asia, despite strong need in the region. This session aims to provide a forum for working-level discussion on the formation of an ‘Asian Bar Associations Human Rights Network’ (tentative), including mapping of potential key actors and partners, knowledge-sharing on existing initiatives and lessons learned, and creation of pilot programs for bilateral knowledge and experience exchange.
