AbstractThis paper examines the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights' (AICHR) role in upholding human rights by using the perspective of the human rights regime theory. In this perspective, AICHR is still behind other regional human rights bodies, such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). The AICHR has passed the declaratory regime, but has not been in the stages of implementation or enforcement regime. Efforts from human rights proponents are expected to elevate the role of the AICHR.

Abstract-This paper discusses the emergence of populist movements in Indonesia and its influence on Indonesian democracy. As in some democratic countries, populism also becomes one of Indonesia's political traits.

Cultural diplomacy is an influential element of soft powers. The concept covers many range of activities that aim to promote national interests through strengthening relationships and enhancing socio-cultural cooperation among countries. Cultural diplomacy is built upon the culture, identity, and value of the country. As government apparatuses often activate cultural diplomacy, it is the civil society that plays the most prominent roles. This study takes Indonesia diplomacy to highlight the importance of cultural diplomacy as a soft power instrument. The study seeks to answer the question of challenges of the creation of a grand narrative of Indonesia’s cultural diplomacy. Finally, the study argues that in the age of globalization in which the world is going toward a global culture, Indonesia cultural diplomacy concept that is rotating around unique culture, identity and value needs to be reassessed to not only contain unique Indonesian cultural products, but also contain the spirit of the culture, values, and traditions of the Indonesian people who have sustained the unity of Indonesia.
