ABSTRACT

Europe, the Americas and Africa concluded the human rights agreement to ensure human rights. For the effectiveness of Human Rights Convention, the organizations called the Human Rights Commission and the Human Rights Court were established. Asia is not existed a regional convention on human rights for a political and cultural reason. There is not even an organization that guarantees basic human rights and freedom in a procedural manner and that solves a specific dispute. Asian countries are recently getting higher in the cultivation of human rights consciousness and in the awareness of the rule of law. Thus, the discussion and possibility are growing in terms of concluding Asian Convention on Human Rights and of forming the human rights security system, which is composed of a substantial security organization. For the effective guarantee of human rights in Asia, it is important to clap up a human rights convention and to establish even an effective security organization. But to specify this, there is a need of role and cooperation in civil society like the human rights NGO along with Asian countries. To examine this necessity, this study, first, inquires into the application of forming the human rights security system through analyzing the human rights security systems in Europe, the Americas and Africa. Second, the aim is to check the human rights status and the institutional operation in Asian countries and to review the types & cooperation process of current small regional organizations, and the procedure for the human rights guarantee. Third, it looks through an effort to improve human rights by civil society like the human rights NGO in Asian countries and through implementing a regional human rights network. Based on this, a plan is aimed to be pursued for contributing to the efficient human rights guarantee in Asia.
