The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) has classified the Charter of ASEAN (the “Charter”) as yellow under the Law Classification Series. Although the Charter creates a number of benefits and enhances collaboration and unity between the ten ASEAN nations, there are a number of Articles in the Charter that are either vague or prevent ASEAN from taking measures to prevent human rights abuses in Member States or sanction Member States for non-compliance with the Charter.
