  • The Janus-Faced State: an Obstacle to Human Rights Lawyering in Post-Colonial Asia-Pacific
    Title: THE JANUS-FACED STATE: AN OBSTACLE TO HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYERING IN POST-COLONIAL ASIA-PACIFIC Author: Shreyas NARLA Uploaded: 20 September 2019 Disclaimer: The views expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of LAWASIA or its members. THE JANUS-FACED STATE: AN OBSTACLE TO HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYERING IN POST-COLONIAL ASIA-PACIFIC† Shreyas Narla* Human rights lawyers now constitute an emergent vulnerable class. This is largely on account of the various causes they represent which pits them in opposition to forces of oppression. Such a fault-line and the consequent fallouts can be traced to the historicity and prevalent patterns of governance and administration in a given State, particularly in the postcolonial states of the Asia Pacific. These states, with their shared colonial histories and legacies, have had many conflicting interests to balance and remedy, and yet are confronted with the realities of their multiple stories of oppression and human rights violations of the lawyers challenging them. Human rights lawyers belonging to these states assume a special role and responsibility as they endure much risk in order to course-correct such actions. While non- state actors and private citizens can be brought to book for violations under prevalent laws, the complexity lies where the State itself is the oppressor instead of being the facilitator. The legal impunity that guards such State- sponsored oppression plays a severe deterrent to their lawyering and requires attention, both in terms of data analyses and reformative policy. I. INTRODUCTION The modern State, meant to be a benign protector of the rights of its citizens, is also the harshest oppressor that uses several instrumentalities at its disposal to control and regulate their actions.

  • Speech by Mr Sam Tan Chin Siong Parliamentary Secretary for Trade
    Speech by Mr Sam Tan Chin Siong Parliamentary Secretary for Trade and Industry, during the Committee of Supply Debate under Head V (Ministry of Trade and Industry) on 8 March 2010 1. Mr Chairman sir, I would like to certainly thank the members for their views and their contributions on important issues: internationalisation of our companies riding on the Asian waves as well as consumer protection. My Minister and MOS had earlier talked about Singapore’s internationalisation efforts. So on this subject, Mr Teo Ser Luck, Mdm Ho Geok Choo and Mr Wee Siew Kim asked how Singapore is tapping on both China and India’s growth. 2. In the foreseeable future, G3 countries will remain the key drivers for Singapore’s external demand. But emerging markets in Asia, particularly in China and India, also present exciting opportunities for us. Already, the share of trade with Asia has been increasing. Ten years ago, China and India accounted for 5.7 per cent of our total trade. Today, this has risen to 13 per cent. The potential for further growth is therefore very strong. 3. In order to realise this potential, Singapore needs to capitalise on two key trends which will underpin the rise of Asia. First, Asia will experience a surge in its middle-class. In China alone, this strata, which is often defined as people enjoying an income of at least RMB 25,000 a year, currently accounts for 12 per cent of China’s population, and this is expected to grow to 75 per cent by 2030. Similarly, India’s middle-class will also grow from around 5 to 10 per cent today to about 90 per cent by 2030.
