ASEAN must take a stand on ongoing Rohingya genocide - Opinion - The Jakarta Post: ASEAN has hidden behind its “non-interference” principle and remained silent even as the Myanmar military was killing and raping its way through Rakhine. Official statements — most recently after the Singapore Summit in November — have mainly offered bland words of support for Myanmar, and studiously avoided the term “Rohingya”.
To their enormous credit, individual member states — notably Malaysia and Indonesia — have taken much tougher stances, and called for the Myanmar military to be held to account for their atrocities against.
Last August over 130 parliament members from across ASEAN also signed a statement calling for justice for the Rohingya, clearly demonstrating that this is an issue that attracts sympathy across the region.
