Representatives of the of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) in Thailand, led by Thailand’s Representative Associate Professor Dr. Bhanubhatra Jittiang visited the ASEAN Centre for Sustainable Development Studies and Dialogues (ACSDSD) on 5 September 2025.

Ambassador Phasporn Sangasubana, Executive Director of ACSDSD, welcomed the proposal and expressed the Centre’s readiness to work with AICHR. This visit underscored opportunities for collaboration between AICHR and ASEAN entities in advancing the rights to a safe and clean environment and the right to development, with attention to migrants, persons with disabilities, and ASEAN human rights champions.

Dr. Anthony Pramualratana, Deputy Executive Director of ACSDSD, proposed incorporating governance structures into the design of human rights education programmes, with a focus on transnational crime, a shared challenge that presents opportunities for ASEAN Member States, including Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, to strengthen joint responses in ways that advance prosperity and protect human dignity.
