TLDR
The adoption of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as discussed by the authors could provide a logical start for the maintraiming of R2P in aASEAN's discourse and practice, and the APSC may provide broad and indirect support for building the capacity of States to recognise, prevent and respond to the situations of conflict.Abstract:
Members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) took part in the World Summit 2005 and agreed to adopt the principle of Responsibility to Protect (R2P). However, there has not been any significant effort to discuss how the R2P might be applicable to the region and the issue remains a marginal one to ASEAN. However, the adoption of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) by ASEAN could provide a logical start for the maintraiming of R2P in ASEAN's discourse and practice. Some elements of the APSC appear to have characteristics in common with the R2P principle. While the APSC may provide broad and indirect support for building the capacity of States to recognise, prevent and respond to the situations of conflict, its immediate utility for preventing the four crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity nonetheless remains to be seen.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the United Nations Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has not been adopted by ASEAN yet, and the main reason for the absence of WPS is attributed to the elite understanding of women as both non-political and vehicles for the realization of economic and social well-being.

The Responsibility to Protect and the problem of military intervention
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a deepening consensus on R2P is dependent on its dissociation from the politics of humanitarian intervention and suggests that one way of doing this is by abandoning the search for criteria for decision-making about the use of force, one of the centre pieces of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty 2001 report that coined the phrase R2Ps.
