Under the principle of non-intervention, all that ASEAN can do, even when facing international pressure, is to make toothless statements of disapproval. Although the ASEAN Charter went into effect in 2008, it still upholds the principle of the "ASEAN way," so there has been no improvement on this front.
基於「不干涉內政原則」，東協在國際壓力下只能發表不痛不癢的譴責聲明；即便 2008 年《東協憲章》生效，由於憲章仍傳承「東協方式」原則，情況並未獲得改善。
