Abstract: Since the establishment of the ASEAN Inter-Governmental Commission of Human Rights (AICHR) in 2009, the handling of cases of human rights violations in ASEAN has yet to progress. Although AICHR, as an intergovernmental institution, expected to be able to strengthen cooperation between ASEAN countries in preventing and handling human rights violations, does not have a significant role, there are still many serious human rights violations occurring in the ASEAN region. This article aims to examine the challenges and the revitalization actions to strengthen AICHR. The toughest human rights challenge in ASEAN lies in the differences in countries’ perceptions of human rights which are strengthened by the principle of non-interference in ASEAN. AICHR as an intergovernmental cooperation is not given strong and clear authority in implementing human rights principles in ASEAN. Revitalization efforts that can be made are by strengthening the independence of the AICHR institution, giving it the authority to receive and handle complaints and resolve human rights issues in a binding manner. It is hoped that strengthening the AICHR institution will be a pathway to uphold human rights in ASEAN.
