Abstract
This chapter makes two proposals, which draw attention to strengthening ASEAN counter-human trafficking methods and strategies. First, it is proposed that the ASEAN Declaration on the Promotion and Protection on the Rights of Trafficking Victims (ADTV) should be established because the existing ASEAN counter-human trafficking laws are insufficient, and there is no specific antihuman trafficking law, which emphasizes victim-centered approaches or equal protection for all victims. The second proposal is formation of the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Trafficking Victims (ACTV) because ASEAN lacks anti-human trafficking body that specializes in preventing human trafficking, promoting equal protection of all trafficking victims, and prosecuting human traffickers. Its attributes can help its member countries monitor, evaluate, and compile data on the strengths and weaknesses of national laws, policies, and actions against human trafficking.Keywords: ACTV; ADTV; ASEAN counter-human trafficking methods; ASEAN counter-human trafficking strategies; human traffickers; national laws
