This article analyses the changing nature and level of engagement between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) States and the global human rights mechanisms especially the Universal Periodic Review mechanism. The relationship is significant for several reasons. It provides valuable insights into how these States approach the interpretation and application of human rights as well as the extent to which they are willing to open up to external scrutiny of their domestic human rights record. It calls into question claims that there is a collective approach to human rights within ASEAN, specifically one that embodies Asian Values or Asia’s Different Standard on human rights. As this study shows, the approach of ASEAN States is far more complex, heterogeneous and dynamic than such claims would suggest. Above all, by analysing the relationship between ASEAN States and the global human rights mechanisms, it is possible to place recent human rights developments in ASEAN within their broader normative and institutional context.
