Human Rights Must Be At Centre Of Inclusivity Sustainability


 
From Edmund Bon
Today, on the occasion of Human Rights Day, we still witness violent conflicts, crimes against humanity and massive human rights violations across Southeast Asia. Yet, there are still serious contestations and debates over human rights’ applicability and the need for human rights accountability.
Human rights abusers and perpetrators do not want human rights to feature in discussions over their conduct. They are afraid of human rights because they will be held to account. They then attempt to silence human rights messages and advocates.
As Malaysia assumes the role of the chair of Asean in 2025, prioritising inclusivity and sustainability, economic progress must not come at the expense of human rights. Economic growth and human rights can be complementary and advanced together.
Businesses must respect and protect human rights.
Inclusivity demands that the voices of those made vulnerable and marginalised be heard. They include women, children, persons with disabilities, indigenous people, Orang Asli, Orang Asal, migrant workers, stateless persons, asylum-seekers, refugees, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, human rights defenders and environmental rights defenders.
They are often overlooked and disproportionately affected by business operations. They are entitled to participate in, contribute to, enjoy and benefit equitably from economic, social, cultural and political development.
Sustainability requires that developments meet present needs without compromising future generations’ dignity, right and ability to meet their needs. Economic growth must be achieved with the least impact on human rights and the environment.
To this end, businesses must be held accountable when they fail on this score or are unable or unwilling to act responsibly. Effective remediation and remedies for victims and survivors must be platformed and provided.
To sum it up, the right to economic, social, cultural and political development demands that human rights be at the front and centre of inclusivity and sustainability. The Asean people deserve no less.
Happy Human Rights Day! - FMT
