T The military coup in myanmar in 2021 triggered massive human rights violations, including violence against civilians and arbitrary detention of political opponents. in response to this situation, asean faces significant challenges in responding effectively. this study aims to analyze whether the principle of non-intervention creates normative barriers to the obligation to protect human rights within the asean legal framework in myanmar post-coup 2021, and the implications of applying the principle of non-intervention on asean\\\'s human rights violation handling mechanisms, particularly in myanmar post-coup 2021. this study employs a normative legal method, is descriptive and analytical in nature, uses secondary data analyzed qualitatively, and draws conclusions using a deductive method. the findings of this study indicate that the principle of non-intervention is deeply embedded in the asean legal framework and reinforced by the “asean way,” creating normative obstacles for asean in addressing human rights issues. although asean has institutions such as the aichr and has issued the five-point consensus (5pc) as the primary method for addressing the myanmar case, this mechanism has proven ineffective due to the limitations of its mandate and the dominance of the principle of non-intervention in carrying out its functions. this study concludes that a reformulation of the principle of non-intervention is necessary, with a more straightforward approach to human rights protection within the region. in addition, asean needs to strengthen its commitment to human rights by becoming more proactive and legally binding in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
