Abstract

In the last thirteen years, the crisis that befell the Rohingya in Myanmar has increasingly attracted world attention. Not only from the regional community but even from the international community and the United Nations. The humanitarian crisis has occurred in such a massive manner and even based on the findings, there has been a practice of ethnic cleansing or genocide in Myanmar's Rakhine State which was carried out by the Myanmar military. Several recommendations have been submitted from envoys from ASEAN countries and UN envoys including reports from NGOs and UNCT in Myanmar and Bangladesh, but these have not been able to stop the conflict in Rakhine State, and the humanitarian crisis in Rakhine State is escalating. The purpose of this research is to encourage the role of the regional community in dealing with regional impacts and conflict resolution in Myanmar as an option to mitigate conflict resolution. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative research methods, with data collection techniques through library research, interviews and observation. Through an international lawa and customary approach regarding the role and cooperation of regional organizations and views on humanitarian and human rights crises and by using the doctrine of responsibility to protect, this research will analyze ASEAN's opportunities to mediate the conflict in Myanmar. The results of this study conclude that to reduce the impact of the Rohingya crisis, ASEAN involvement can be an option for resolving the conflict in Myanmar.
