LAWASIA Statements & Resolutions
As an internationally representative organisation, LAWASIA takes seriously its responsibility to make public statements on behalf of the regional legal profession on issues that are important to the protection of legal and human rights. It is able to do so in situations where local bodies may be compromised in their efforts to speak out. Many of these are collected below.
They are supplemented by other interventions - e.g. letters from LAWASIA to governments or individuals indicating that LAWASIA is taking an active interest in a situation that may contravene human or legal rights. Recent examples of this have been letters to the governments of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, protesting about ill treatment of human rights lawyers who have fallen out of favour with governments.
