ASEAN Rohingya response

A new report from a regional human rights group urges the ten-member bloc to take a more holistic approach to the situation in western Myanmar.

Amid the pandemic and global economic chaos, the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis in Southeast Asia has quietly been swept under a rug.

The ASEAN Economic Community holds promise – but it also presents challenges to the group’s policy of noninterference.

The Rohingya crisis is not just an issue for Myanmar; it will impact security and economic trends throughout the region.

Sorry, Hun Sen: the Rohingya crisis can’t be dismissed as Myanmar’s internal affair.

In speaking out forcefully about “genocide” in Myanmar, Malaysia’s prime minister may have opened a Pandora’s box.

The issue has been in the spotlight this month in several Southeast Asian states.

It is much more complex than is often portrayed by some.

Their plight is an all-too-familiar story in the region.

The conversation must be broadened if "durable solutions" have any chance of being truly durable.

Other ethnic groups from Myanmar are facing an increasingly difficult situation too.
