“…These criteria include dynamic pluralism, awareness of power dynamics, contextual universalism, and open normativity. Conversely, Ahdanisa & Rothman (2020) argue that various factors, such as political capacity, economic development, regional mechanisms, and the strength of civil society, play a critical role in determining the effectiveness of treaties within the Asia-Pacific region. Significantly, this geographical area poses unique difficulties, encompassing intricate security environments and cultural discrepancies.…”

“…However, it is worth noting that regional institutions and organizations have the potential to make substantial contributions to the advancement of human rights and foster cooperative endeavours. The ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), which was established in 2009, is a notable regional entity that has been assigned the responsibility of safeguarding and promoting human rights within the ASEAN region (Ahdanisa & Rothman, 2020). The scope of AICHR is limited to the promotion and protection of human rights within the ASEAN region.…”

This study analyses the progress made toward establishing a cohesive regional human rights framework in Asia while identifying key obstacles that hinder its evolution. It also explores the intricate nature of constructing a unified structure for human rights in the region through a comprehensive examination of historical, cultural, political, and economic elements. The examination of current mechanisms such as the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) and the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Asian Human Rights Declaration highlights both the constraints and potential avenues for advancement. The study posits that a collaborative approach, involving regional organizations, civil society, and international collaboration, is crucial despite historical legacies, cultural differences, and economic paradoxes. The significance of addressing these challenges is highlighted by the potential advantages of establishing a unified human rights regime, which encompasses regional stability and the safeguarding of individual rights. The imperative of promoting a transformative human rights framework in Asia necessitates the maintenance of an inclusive dialogue among stakeholders moving forward.

“…They are regarded as forces beyond our control, for which we cannot be held liable and may even jeopardize the rules and laws that underpin civilization. As a result, human rights theories and historical development of human rights law emphasize the importance of feelings, behavior and emotions (Creamer and Simmons, 2019; Wettstein et al , 2019; Ahdanisa and Rothman, 2021). Individuals experience a range of emotions, but shame is a cornerstone of human rights that has yet to be thoroughly theorized from an explicitly emotional and cultural perspective (Ilgit and Prakash, 2019).…”

Purpose Despite the fact that shame is recognized as a significant factor in clinical encounters, it is under-recognized, under-researched and under-theorized in health prevention, assessment and cross-cultural contexts. Thus, this study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the most widely used scale, the “Other as Shamer Scale” (OAS), to assess the risk and proclivities of external shame in adults. As in health care, there is a barrier between what is known through research in one culture and what is acceptable in practice in another culture. Design/methodology/approach The Urdu version was prepared using the standard back-translation method, and the study was conducted from June 2021 to January 2022. The translation and adaptation were completed in four steps: forward translation, adaptation and translation, back translation, committee approach and cross-language validation. The sample, selected through the purposive sampling method, is comprised of 200 adults (men = 100 and women = 100), with an age range of 18–60 years (M = 28, SD = 5.5), spanning all stages of life. The Cronbach's alpha reliability and factorial validity of the OAS were assessed through confirmatory factor analysis and Pearson correlation analyses. Internal consistency and test–retest reliability (at a two-week interval) were used to evaluate the reliability. Statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 22) software. Findings Preliminary analysis revealed that the overall instrument had good internal consistency (Urdu OAS a = 0.91; English OAS a = 0.92) as well as test–retest correlation coefficients for 15 days (r = 0.88). The factor loading of all items ranged from 0.69 to 0.9, which explained the significant level and indicated the model's overall goodness of fit. Originality/value Findings suggest that this scale has significant psychometric properties and the potential to be used as a valid, reliable and cost-effective clinical and research instrument. This study contributes to scientific knowledge and helps to develop and test indigenous cross-cultural instruments that can be used to examine external shame in Pakistani people.
