Analysing ASEAN's Responses to the Rohingya Crisis: Diplomatic Forays and Humanitarian Initiatives Amidst Pre- and Post-Coup Scenarios in Myanmar
摘要
The Rohingya are a predominantly Muslim minority in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, which has experienced historical marginalisation.

It forced over 700,000 Rohingya to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh (United Nations, 2017).
