East Asia Policy Institute, or EAPI, is a private nongovernmental organization devoted to improving human rights conditions, promoting peace, and strengthening democracy in East Asia through research and actionable policy recommendations.

“…the fundamental freedom of each individual, enshrined in the charter of the UN and subsequent international treaties—has been enhanced by a renewed and spreading consciousness of individual rights. When we read the charter today, we are more than ever conscious that its aim is to protect individual human beings, not to protect those who abuse them.”

- UN Secretary-General Kofi Annon (1997-2006)
