ASEAN and the Responsibility to Protect: Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar
No full textASEAN and the Responsibility to Protect: Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar is derived from an MA thesis in Southeast Asia Studies from Chulalongkorn University. The book aims to explore the impact of the Responsibility to Protect or R2P concept on ASEAN in dealing with the human security after the Cyclone Nargis which happened in Myanmar in 2008. R2P, adopted as the World Summit Outcome Document in 2005, is the principle of that states and the international community are obliged to be responsible for protecting its citizens from four crimes including genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. The author discusses the question why a natural disaster compelled the application of R2P even though it is initially not a R2P- type crime. Under international pressure of possible military intervention in the name of R2P, the norm entrepreneur played a vital role in negotiating to bridge the junta and the international community and facilitate humanitarian assistance. This successful localization of R2P by ASEAN in its effort to handle this man-made catastrophe has implications on ASEAN’s institutional changes when it comes to human rights protection in future

Le scrutin de Nargis
No full textLe 2 mai 2008, le cyclone Nargis dévaste le delta birman. Dans une conjoncture que tendue, la catastrophe naturelle a pris la dimension d’une scène éminemment politique sur laquelle les différents intervenants, les instances internationales, les ong, le régime en place et le public, ont pu se situer autour de la question de l’aide humanitaire. En particulier, les classes moyennes de Rangoun, mobilisées le secours aux victimes du delta, y ont trouvé l’occasion d’exprimer leur condamnation des militaires au pouvoir et de la gestion gouvernementale de la crise. Selon l’interprétation populaire, Nargis est la sanction naturelle à un ordre politique contesté.The Nargis election The 2008 cyclone in Burma On the second of May 2008, the Nargis cyclone devastates the Burmese delta. In a tense political context the natural catastrophe takes on a highly political turn as different actors – ngos, the regime and public opinion – situate themselves in relation to the question of the place of humanitarian aid. In particular the Rangoon middle classes, much involved in aiding the victims, use the opportunity to voice their condemnation of the military men in power and of government action in dealing with the crisis. Popular opinion interprets Nargis as nature denouncing an unacceptable political system

ASEAN and the Responsibility to Protect Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar
No full textThe Responsibility to Protect, commonly abbreviated as R2P, was first mentioned in the report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) in 2001 and adopted in the World Summit Outcome Document by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005. Accordingly, states and the international community are obliged to be responsible for protecting its citizens from four crimes – genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. The first R2P-related case in Southeast Asia can be found in the post-Cyclone Nargis situation. The book discusses the question why a natural disaster compelled the application of R2P even though it is initially not a R2P-type crime.
In order to show the normative grounds for the evolution of R2P in ASEAN, the book adopts the theory of Norm Localization which points out the conditions for a new norm to be accepted and developed in the local context. The congruence between the external norm of R2P and the regional practice of human rights protection and promotion will be clearly shown.
The book also attempts to explain the impacts of R2P concept on ASEAN in dealing with the human insecurity after the Cyclone Nargis happened in Myanmar in 2008. Under international pressure of possible military intervention in the name of R2P, the norm entrepreneur played a vital role in negotiating to bridge the junta and the international community and facilitate humanitarian assistance.
The successful localization of R2P by ASEAN in its effort to handle this man-made catastrophe has implications on ASEAN’s institutional changes when it comes to human rights protection in future.No Full Tex
