Conflict in the Southeast Asia region has become a major concern for regional and international stability. There are several factors that encourage the emergence of tensions, including geopolitical interests, resource issues, and ethnic identity. One striking example is the conflict in Myanmar, where tensions between the government and certain ethnic groups are creating an urgent humanitarian situation. In 2021, a military coup created a widespread wave of protests, worsening social and political conditions. In the South China Sea, territorial disputes between countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and China are also a source of tension. China claims almost the entire sea area based on historical maps, while neighboring countries fight to defend their rights to the abundant resource. This tension not only creates problems between countries, but also involves global powers such as the US supporting small countries in the face of China’s domination. One of the less closely watched conflicts is the problem in Southern Thailand, where a bloody rebellion is taking place between the government and Muslim separatist groups. Since 2004, more than 7,000 people have been killed in clashes. Resolving this conflict requires an inclusive approach, where the needs and aspirations of local communities are prioritized, including deeper dialogue to reach a compromise. To reduce this tension, various solutions can be implemented. First, more active diplomacy between countries is important to build dialogue. Regional organizations such as ASEAN must play a more significant role in facilitating negotiations and helping to address these issues. ASEAN can strengthen security cooperation that is not only based on militarism but also economic and social development. Second, regarding guarantees of human rights, countries must carry out reforms to ensure better protection of their citizens. Providing fair access to education and health can reduce the potential for conflict. For example, resolving the conflict in Myanmar could start with the restoration of civil rights for all ethnicities. Third, inclusive approaches to conflict resolution, such as collaboration between ethnic groups and local governments, must be emphasized. This can create a sense of community and avoid marginalization which could lead to further tensions. In the case of Southern Thailand, involving community leaders in the decision process could help ease tensions. By combining diplomacy, human rights protection, and an inclusive approach, Southeast Asian countries can work together to create a more peaceful and stable region. This is not only the responsibility of the government, but also involves civil society and the private sector to create sustainable and comprehensive solutions.
