Abstract

As stated by Johan Galtung, one fundamental principle in establishing peace is to involve the conflicting parties into a constructive dialogue. By this principle, ASEAN avoids isolative approach by welcoming Pyongyang in ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in 2000 and cultivating a trustworthy relationship afterwards. Driven by ASEAN Fundamental Principle in The Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC) 1976, ARF appeared to be effective to maintain North Korea in negotiating table, as it also remains to be the only multilateral framework North Korea is in. This ASEAN soft diplomacy in peacebuilding also gains the positive support by Seoul as the engagement with ASEAN through its new southern policy intensifies. With ASEAN contribution as neighboring regional organization, many progresses of peacebuilding, such as Panmunjom Agreement, could be achieved. This paper analyses the role of ASEAN through its way of peacebuilding and soft diplomacy in mediating two Koreas and to help in maintaining peace in the region. This paper argues that ASEAN’s impartiality and traditional friendship among ASEAN members and two Koreas are the keys of ASEAN role in this regard.

Abstract

This article examines the limitations of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in Southeast Asia, using the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar as a case study. While ASEAN has formally endorsed R2P, its response to the crisis reveals a persistent gap between normative commitment and institutional capacity. This study investigates how deeply entrenched principles of non-interference and consensus have shaped ASEAN’s reluctance to operationalise protective norms, even amid documented mass atrocities. Drawing on qualitative document analysis and framed within constructivist and norm localisation theories, the article explores both regional and global failures to act. The analysis reveals that ASEAN’s response was fragmented, with individual member states selectively engaging based on domestic interests, and that international inaction further eroded the credibility of R2P. By highlighting the disjuncture between rhetorical acceptance and practical implementation, the article argues for a reinterpretation of sovereignty and a rethinking of institutional mechanisms in order to strengthen atrocity prevention in the region. The study further recommends that ASEAN develop a regional monitoring and early-warning mechanism to enhance timely and coordinated responses to emerging mass-atrocity risks.
