4.5 South Asia Regional Initiatives

The neighbourhood's record: SAARC's social faces — the SAARC conventions (the trafficking of women and children; the child welfare; the terrorism cooperation's rights edges); the SAARC Social Charter (the development-goals faces); the South Asian Association for RegionalCooperation's human-rights silence — no SAARC human rights body (the Article X politics of LAW5405's U4). The substitutes: the national human rights commissions' cooperation (the NHRC-Nepal's networks — the regional forum of NHRIs; the cross-border issues: trafficking, migration, refugees); the civil-society bodies (SAHR's faces); the courts' dialogues (the South Asian judges' conferences; the constitutional cross-pollination — the Public Interest Litigation's shared technique).
