Sustainable Development in ASEAN
Strengthening Sustainable Development in the ASEAN Region

Many ASEAN countries, including Thailand, are experiencing intensified political dynamics due to various socio-political discourses. In response to such a political context, HSF, with reference to SDG Goal 16, is committed to promoting an organized dialogue between academics, civil society, parliamentarians, and security sectors on issues of regulatory and legal policies; and providing briefings and policy recommendations to parliamentarians and civil society. Our works aim to consolidate the rule of law and good governance, focusing on strengthening public participation and the roles of parliamentarians in order to stabilize democratic structures both in Thailand and in the ASEAN region.

For our new project cycle (2023- 2025), the third pillar of HSF Thailand will be focusing on three main goals:

1. Promoting constitutionalism, Human Rights, and democracy;

2. Promoting peace and security through the ASEAN framework and integrating ASEAN into the international order; and

3. Strengthening alternative dispute and conflict resolution as tools to achieve domestic and international peace in the region

We are delighted to continue working with the Thai Parliament, Committee on the Development of Politics, Journalism and Public Participation, ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights - APHR, and Center of Excellence for Public Policy and Good Governance to strengthen sustainable development in the ASEAN Region.

In the service of democracy, peace and development.
