The chairmanship of SEANF is rotated among its members on an annual
basis. SUHAKAM assumes the position in 2021. As the Chairperson of
SEANF, SUHAKAM will continue to host the regular meetings of SEANF,
including TWG meetings and the Annual Meeting. Aside from that,
SUHAKAM will also look into the possibility of conducting capacity
building workshops on common areas of interests of SEANF and AICHR
and include human rights organisations from other ASEAN member
