This chapter makes a preliminary attempt to identify the myths, misconceptions, and fallacies that have gone into creating an "Asian view" of human rights. Although scholars have explored the understanding of human rights in various Asian contexts, the concept of "Asian values" gains political prominence only when it is articulated in government rhetoric and official statements. The chapter addresses the claims that make up the "Asian view", part…
