【7月4日講演会のご案内】HRWアジア局局長代理フィル・ロバートソン×Temple大学＠南麻布 ― 2011/06/27 22:35

皆さま、こんにちは。インターンの小田です。

ヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチアジア局局長代理フィル・ロバートソンが7月5日に開るヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチ東京のディナーに合わせて来日します。フィルは、長年タイに住んでおり、タイ語も話します。
さて、バンコク駐在のフィルですが、来日に合わせ、7月4日にＴｅｍｐｌｅ大学Ｊapanキャンパスでの講演が決定いたしました！モデレーターの Dujarric教授は、国際政治のエキスパートで有名な方です！

講演内容はこちら↓
“ASEAN moves towards full regional integration by 2015 under an ASEAN Charter that ostensibly requires adherence to international human rights, the five countries of the Mekong Sub-region are rapidly sliding backwards in their respect for human rights.  An overview of developments in the sub-region reveal increased violations of freedom of expression, association and assembly in all five countries;  growing attacks against activists and human rights defenders;  shrinking political space for transparent and democratic governance; and continued lack of independence of the judicial systems.   
 
Based in Bangkok, HRW’s Phil Robertson will give a country by country analysis of the worsening human rights situations in Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, examine the political developments that are driving these situations, and summarize the challenges for ASEAN and for major development partners, like Japan, that are providing significant bilateral and multilateral assistance to these governments.”

成長著しいASEAN諸国。では、ASEAN諸国における人権状況はどうなっているのでしょうか。政治混乱続くタイでの総選挙を受けた状況を中心に、経済成長と人権の尊重が反比例しているASEAN諸国について、分析・展望を講演する予定です。
7月4日の夜は、明治大学でディナーのゲストであるヨセフ・ムルゲタ氏の講演会もあり、「からだがいくつあっても足りないとは、まさにこのことだ！」と悩ましい今日この頃です。フィルは、是非皆さまに聞いて頂きたい講演会です。


　
　　フィルの講演も入場無料となっています！お時間のある方、タイ・ビルマ・カンボジア・ラオス・ベトナム、そしてASEANに興味をお持ちの方は、こちらの講演会も宜しくお願い致します！
