SUMMARY:Civilian resistance to mass atrocities: Understanding non-violent, militant and alternative responses in Southeast Asia (1)
LOCATION:Room 3.01
DESCRIPTION:Since the end of the Cold War, and subsequent political changes
 , several Southeast Asian countries have experienced mass atrocities and se
 vere human rights abuses. Recent examples include the persecution of civili
 ans after the military coup in Myanmar. Mass atrocities and widespread huma
 n rights abuses have also taken place during periods of democratic opening 
 in places such as Indonesia, Timor Leste, the Philippines and Thailand. At 
 the same time, two parallel processes have restricted human rights advocacy
  in the region: the growing power and influence of China, and a resurgence 
 in populist and authoritarian modes of rule. Against this turbulent backdro
 p, the panel asks: How have vulnerable groups on the ground resisted threat
 s of mass atrocities? Is it possible to identify a pattern of resistance st
 rategies across divergent cases? What kinds of resistance strategies have b
 een more successful in defending groups against mass atrocities and abuses 
 and under which conditions? How have resistance options been influenced by 
 regional and global political power shifts, alongside national regime chang
 es? \n\nIn the international policy and research field of mass atrocity pre
 vention, there is a strong normative emphasis on the duty of outsiders to r
 escue victim groups either through political pressure, or through more forc
 eful economic and military measures. However, the reality of mass atrocitie
 s (understood here as large-scale one-sided violence against civilians) is 
 that victim groups usually need to protect themselves. This is particularly
  the case in Southeast Asia, where regional actors, most notably ASEAN, hav
 e shown limited willingness or capacity to respond to atrocity threats in a
  meaningful way, and the strategic influence of China in the region reduces
  the leverage of other external actors. There is, therefore, a need to bett
 er understand the strategies threatened groups employ to protect themselves
  against atrocities, and how these groups may be able to mobilise support d
 omestically or internationally.\n\nOur panel invites contributions from sch
 olars, practitioners, civil society organisers and human rights activists t
 o discuss resistance strategies towards atrocities and severe human rights 
 abuses in the Southeast Asia region. We particularly encourage contribution
 s from activists, organisers, junior scholars (including PhD students) and 
 Southeast Asian scholars.
