National human rights institutions and transitional justice in Asia

国家人权机构是过渡时期司法进程中日益普遍的一个特征，旨在处理过去侵犯人权的行为并防止未来的侵权行为。本项目旨在考察国家人权机构在亚太地区政治转型期间的有效性。它旨在促进有关国家人权机构绩效的政策辩论，并使参与其设计和管理的从业人员受益。由于澳大利亚在该地区建立国家人权机构方面发挥了关键的领导作用，

National human rights institutions (NHRIs) are an increasingly common feature of transitional justice processes, designed to address past human rights violations and prevent future abuses. This project aims to examine the effectiveness of NHRIs during political transitions in the Asia-Pacific. It intends to contribute to policy debates about NHRI performance and benefit practitioners engaged in their design and administration. As Australia has played a key leadership role in the establishment of NHRIs in the region, this project will benefit the development of the human rights aspects of Australia’s foreign policy by generating new knowledge, building institutional collaborations, and enhancing its research capacity on human rights.
