Kepatuhan Negara-Negara ASEAN untuk Tidak Campur Tangan dalam Menangani Persekusi Etnis Rohingya di Myanmar

Abstract

Rohingya ethnic persecution case became the focus of the international community,
especially ASEAN. The persecution suffered by the Rohingyas included murder, rape and
arson. This makes the ASEAN countries are expected to take concrete action in resolving
this conflict. In carrying out the organizational functions, ASEAN countries collide with
the principle of non-intervention adopted by ASEAN. This study aims to determine the
profile and capacity of ASEAN in addressing the conflicts that occurred in Myanmar. This
research uses compliance theory and international organization in understanding the
attitude of ASEAN countries in following up the Rohingya ethnic persecution case. In
dealing with the Rohingya crisis, ASEAN was unable to apply strict sanctions as it relates
to the principle of non-intervention which turned out to be a form of resistance for ASEAN
to be able to resolve the political and security issues strictly. This is what makes the
problem vulnerable to recurrence. The result of this research shows that ASEAN put
forward the peaceful road map and third party mediation in resolving conflict. In
addressing the Rohingya crisis, ASEAN uses other measures and efforts of humanitarian
diplomacy.
