The topic of human rights in Asia is one that encompasses an immense number of states,international governmental organizations,and non-governmental organizations. All these institutions contribute a variety of services and perspectives towards human rights,covering topics including the enforcement,monitoring,and criticisms of human rights in Asia. There is no single body that covers all of human rights in Asia,as such a diverse and widespread region requires a number of institutions to properly monitor the multitude of elements that fall under the scope of human rights. There have historically been numerous criticisms of human rights in Asia,but a variety of new treaties and conventions now strive to accomplish a level of human rights as they are known on the international stage. Human rights in Asia are monitored by many organizations,a few examples being the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and Human Rights Watch. Tolerance of these organizations varies from state to state,with voluntary intergovernmental programs often seeing more state-cooperation than neutral non-governmental organizations would typically receive. The number of criticisms towards Asian states has dramatically increased in recent decades,with many human rights advocates calling for increased transparency and greater international pressure upon Asian states to refrain from any human rights infractions. Aforementioned calls for international pressure have gone unanswered,however,as most of the international community finds it increasingly difficult to challenge the actions of the growing Asian powers:particularly China. While states have put forward somewhat muted complaints in recent years,non-governmental organizations continue to 'name and shame' states that have shown themselves to be guilty of human rights infractions.
