The Committee on Asian Security presented a symposium on human rights in Asia on April 22, 2005 on the Bloomington campus. Following keynote remarks by Tom Malinowski, two panels of experts examined the status of human rights in several countries in Asia. The first panel looked at civil and political rights in China, including Tibet, Korea, and Southeast Asia. A second panel explored the ways that gender affects the enjoyment of human rights in China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and India.

Audio files and the panelists' abstracts are available below. All audio files are in Real Player format. A brief biography of each of the participants is available. The Office of the Vice President for Research, the Office of International Programs, the Center for the Study of Global Change, and the College of Arts and Sciences provided generous support for this event.
