The document provides information about ASEAN, including its founding members, additional members, population, area, religions, GDP, and cultural diversity. It discusses how culture is addressed in ASEAN's three communities (political-security, economic, socio-cultural). The ASEAN Human Rights Declaration recognizes cultural rights. The ASEAN Declaration on Cultural Heritage frames a regional order based on equal cultural access and participation. It recognizes culture's role in viability, human development, and regional identity. However, culture has also been used to limit rights based on morality and challenge universality. Case studies in Indonesia show how cultural rights can marginalize women, LGBTIQ groups, and minorities.

Cultural continuity, Indigenous identity, language and education matters: A c...AJHSSR Journal
A history of public policies in Japan and Aotearoa New Zealand reveals similar effects on
cultural continuity, Indigenous identity, language and education matters for both Indigenous Ainu and Māori. In
both cases, such policies battered the identity and pride of their Indigenous people, took away their homelands,
endangered the survival of their languages,instigating significant grief over many generations. For decades, both
the Japanese and the New Zealand mainstream public remained largely unaware of the debilitating effect of
public policies on Indigenous language, cultural values and traditional ways of living. This article describes the
introduction of public policies which impacted heavily on education pathways and language survival for Ainu
and Māori, in each case resulting in cultural continuity crunch points. Consequences of these policies are
evaluated; this research advocates for more non-Indigenous researchers to embrace education research which
encourages social justice, reconciliation and restoration of Indigenous well-being and cultural rights.
“Community” Ideology, Power and Social Relations The Way of Life Relates to ...ijtsrd
For years, the topic community has been a source of contention. As social science thinking began to shift its meaning, therapeutic norms and ideals that impact regionally different behaviors and social lives emerged. Different local cultural traits are strong and crucial to the way of life of the people in the community in both rural and urban locations. When considering each item, it was found that people and their family members were well accepted by the community. There was a statistically significant difference at the.01 level, and Your neighborhood has a variety of drug issues. There was a statistically significant difference at the.05 level.

One Bharat, One Democracy Fostering Unity Amidst Diversityijtsrd
One Bharat, One Democracy encapsulates a visionary approach aimed at unifying Indias diverse cultural, linguistic, and regional identities under a singular democratic framework. This abstract seeks to explore the concepts implications, challenges, and transformative potential within Indias socio political landscape. This visionary concept aims to transcend regional, cultural, and political differences, fostering national unity while celebrating Indias rich diversity. It emphasizes the creation of a cohesive democratic structure that respects the plurality of the nation and ensures equitable representation and participation for all citizens. However, the implementation of One Bharat, One Democracy confronts multifaceted challenges, including balancing unity with diversity, preserving federal principles while centralizing governance, and addressing regional aspirations without marginalization. Ensuring the effective realization of this concept necessitates nuanced considerations of federalism, administrative complexities, and the preservation of democratic values across the diverse fabric of India. This abstract delves into the complexities of fostering a unified democratic framework that respects diversity, navigating the delicate balance between national unity and regional aspirations, and advocating for inclusive governance that upholds democratic principles. It emphasizes the significance of collaborative efforts between the central and state governments, inclusive policy making, and meaningful public engagement for the successful implementation of this transformative vision.

Policy Debates and Indigenous Education: The Trialectic of Language, Culture,...Che-Wei Lee
In this chapter, we explore several policy debate topics associated with indigenous education with a focus on the issues of indigenous languages, cultures, and identity. Highly political by nature, the terms indigeneity and indigenous rights are central to most policy debates with direct implications on social justice issues, human rights, and education in general. Besides examining global indigenous declarations that directly influence indigenous education, we also examine policy debate issues within five country contexts—in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. We use the term indigenous genocide to account for any former, current, or future government policy that intentionally causes the assimilation of indigenous peoples into the dominant national culture. Examples are given in the five case countries of how indigenous genocide can lead to the genocide of indigenous peoples’ languages, cultures, and/or identities. The chapter concludes by highlighting the central role indigenous education can play in being able to curb or reverse indigenous genocidal policies. Crucial to reversing anti-indigenous policies is the involvement and empowerment of indigenous peoples in every facet of the policy planning and implementation processes.

It implies a commitment to human rights and fundamental freedoms, in particular the rights of persons belonging to minorities and those of indigenous peoples. No one may invoke cultural diversity to infringe upon human rights guaranteed by international law, nor to limit their scope.

5. How ASEAN define Culture & Cultural
Rights?
ASEAN Declaration On
Cultural Heritage, 2000
“Culture” means the whole
complex of distinctive
spiritual, intellectual, emoti
onal and material features
that characterize a society
or social group. It includes
the arts and letters as well
as human modes of
life, value
systems, creativity, knowle
dge systems, traditions
and beliefs.
AHRD, 2012
Five human rights are generally
understood as cultural rights (article
32):
1. The right to education;
2. The right to participate in cultural
life;
3. The right to enjoy the benefits of
scientific progress and its
applications;
4. The right to benefit from the
protection of the moral and
material interests resulting from
any scientific, literary or artistic
production of which the person is
the author, and
5. The freedom for scientific
6. How Culture has been used to
frame rights in ASEAN?
As a limit to the realization of rights:
“…The exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms
shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law
solely for the purpose of securing due recognition for the human
rights and fundamental freedoms of others, and to meet the just
requirements of national security, public order, public
health, public safety, public morality, as well as the general
welfare of the peoples in a democratic society” (Para 8 AHRD)
To signify the formation of regional identity/ challenge
universality
“…At the same time, the realisation of human rights must be
considered in the regional and national context bearing in mind
different political, economic, legal, social, cultural, historical and
religious backgrounds.” (Para 7 AHRD)
“To promote human rights within the regional context, bearing in
mind national and regional particularities and mutual respect for
different historical, cultural and religious backgrounds, and
taking into account the balance between rights and
responsibilities” (Article 1.4 TOR AICHR)
7. How Culture has been used to
frame rights in ASEAN?
Inherent part of the human rights
“Every person has the right, individually or in
association with others, to freely take part in cultural
life, to enjoy the arts and the benefits of scientific
progress and its applications and to benefit from the
protection of the moral and material interests resulting
from any scientific, literary or appropriate artistic
production of which one is the author”. Article 32

9. Cultural rights remain the most acceptable topic
across different ideologies, political systems, interests
in ASEAN, but at the same time it offers some threats
especially when it comes to take different path from
the mainstreamed one.
The inclusion of cultural rights in AHRD should give a
concrete legal and policy framework as well as
mechanisms of monitoring and of possible
international cooperation and assistance in the area
of respecting, protecting, and fulfilling the right to
culture. Nevertheless, ASEAN rather use „culture‟ for
political purposes.
How culture link with two important institutions: the
power and the house of truth.
How universal it is the right to culture?
