Abstract

This paper explores the critical role of human rights education in fostering a deep understanding and appreciation of human rights values within social life. Despite the historical roots of human rights predating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948, many aspects, such as freedom of speech and equality before the law, remain inconsistently applied in society. The principle of universality, which posits that human rights apply to everyone regardless of status, race, nationality, language, or religion, faces significant challenges in its acceptance, particularly in Southeast Asia. Here, the concept of ‘Asian Values,’ characterized by consensus, communitarianism, social order, and a paternalistic state, often conflicts with what is perceived as ‘Western Values’ of transparency, accountability, and individualism. This paper examines the intersection of these Asian Values with human rights education in Southeast Asia, highlighting the ongoing debate and investigating how these values influence the implementation and acceptance of human rights education in the region.
