New episode - Earthquakes: The ICC visits Duterte, budget cuts hit RFA, and devastation in Thailand and Myanmar
10 April 2025
In this episode, we reflect on how the recent earthquake that struck Myanmar and Thailand, an ICC warrant for Rodrigo Duterte, and mounting attacks on free media are shaking Southeast Asia — and what these developments mean for ASEAN’s role and Europe’s response.
This month, Zsuzsa and Richard are joined by Kristina Kironska, a human rights expert with firsthand experience in Myanmar. Together, they unpack these seismic developments — from the arrest warrant for Duterte to attempts to silence outlets like Radio Free Asia — and examine their implications for international accountability and media freedom.
They explore how these events are testing ASEAN’s capacity to respond and shaping Europe’s potential to bolster regional stability and democratic resilience.
In cooperation with the European Parliament in ASEAN.
