Promoting and protection of human rights cooperation in ASEAN is an evolving process. It\&nbsp;was started by the endorsement of the Joint Communique of the 26th ASEAN Foreign\&nbsp;Ministers{\textquoteright} Meeting in 1993 in which ASEAN pledged, for the first time, its commitment to\&nbsp;respect and promote human rights and fundamental freedom. The United Nations World\&nbsp;Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, Austria acknowledged and welcome this\&nbsp;commitment. Since then, the process of establishing an ASEAN Mechanism to promote and\&nbsp;protect human rights has been started.
Hanoi Plan of Action, as the first Plan of Action to implement the ASEAN Vision 20202\&nbsp;reemphasized ASEAN{\textquoteright}s commitment to exchange information among its members on the\&nbsp;promotion and protection of Human Rights as elaborated in section IV, paragraph 4.8.3 As\&nbsp;the second phase of the Plan of Action to implement the ASEAN Vision 2020, the 2004\&nbsp;Vientiane Action Program, under the sub-section Political Development, ASEAN reaffirmed\&nbsp;its commitment to promote human rights and fundamental freedom.\&nbsp;ASEAN Charter that was entered into force at the end of 2008 gave a significant leapfrog to
the ASEAN{\textquoteright}s efforts to establish its Human Rights mechanisms and to promote further the\&nbsp;protection of human rights and fundamental freedom. As the last phase to implement the\&nbsp;ASEAN Vision 2020 and the establishment of the ASEAN Community 2015, the ASEAN\&nbsp;Political-Security Community Blueprint, particularly under section A.1.5, charted the way\&nbsp;forward to further strengthen ASEAN{\textquoteright}s commitment on the promotion and protection of\&nbsp;human rights.
The ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) established as the\&nbsp;follow up the entry into force of the ASEAN Charter, took up its role as the ASEAN\&nbsp;overarching mechanism to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedom in\&nbsp;close collaboration with other mechanisms, including the ACWC. Although the current role of\&nbsp;the AICHR is mainly focusing on human rights promotion, however, a significant progress\&nbsp;has been achieved in its work to develop the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD),\&nbsp;which was endorsed by the ASEAN Leaders through the Phnom Penh Statement on the\&nbsp;adoption of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration.},
