Description
Summary:This chapter establishes the conflicting pull of human rights protection and promotion and noninterference as action-guiding forces for the Indonesian, Thai, and Malaysian governments in cases of extraterritorial human rights violations. This is not to say that noninterference has been observed absolutely in the past by Southeast Asian countries, or that the entire repository of human rights norms has been fully internalized within the three states.¹ Instead, the chapter shows that the governments of Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia have expressed a credible commitment to both norms that arguably creates legitimate expectations for compliance at the domestic, regional, and international levels
