The focus of this volume is on how transitional societies—those experiencing a transition from a repressive regime to a more democratic society governed by the rule of law—in North and Southeast Asia have responded to, or might respond to, allegations of gross human rights violations by the preceding or extant regimes. Authors from Korea, Cambodia, and the Philippines comment on their country's experience of transitional justice, while others from Indonesia, Burma, and China shed light on the prospects for transitional justice should reform or a regime change occur in the country. A final piece on Japan's struggle to acknowledge and compensate World War II "comfort women"offers a perspective on accountability and moral responsibility for past abuses that transcend a single country.

Human Rights Dialogue promotes a global discussion of
human rights ideas and practices by presenting firsthand
accounts of human rights issues as they arise within specific
real-life contexts. In so doing, it helps to clarify the significant and ongoing evolution that is taking
place within the human rights movement to make the
human rights framework more relevant and effective in
addressing the social, economic, and political challenges
of the twenty-first century.
The entire publication is online, or you may purchase individual print
copies.
Series One (1993–1998)examines all sides of the Asian values debate—the argument that Asian
cultural values imply different human rights standards
and priorities from those in the West.
Series Two(2000–2005)addresses the problem of the
“human rights box”—the constraints that have enabled
the human rights framework to gain currency among
elites while limiting its advance among the most vulnerable.
Specifically, the essays aim to locate the barriers to
greater public legitimacy of human rights and to demonstrate
how those barriers can be overcome.
