Responsibility to Protect is new perspective in international relations toward looking in humanitarian interventions. Responsibility to Protect have three aspect, Responsibility to prevent,
Responsibility to react and Responsibility to build. It uses in unhumanity condition and stuation if some or one of country didn’t keep their people by violation of human right such as genoside, etnic
cleansing, mass killing and drive out the people from their land. Rohingnya is ordinary people inlander of Myanmar and they are not the outsider. Myanmar as the government which has a
duty to keepprotect their people by terror and distruptions, instead do contrary action to Rohingya. Myanmar killed and drove out Rohingnya until they didn’t have land Stateless and tobe a refugee.
I thing what happen in Myanmar espescially Rohingya is one of infranction of human right and big humanity issue today.
ASEAN the biggest international government organization in South East Asia must take action by this humanity tragedy. Rohingya must be helped , must be kept and must be gave a solve. ASEAN
don’t too worry about non-interference principle in Asean Charter, because humanitarian interventions not talk about borderssovereignty. It talks about human right and responsibility to
protect a civilizations by uncivilizations action like Myanmar did to Rohingya. If Asean can take responsilbility to protect in Rohingya case, it will be rising up and to be the regional organization
with peace and democratic orentations. In doing this research, author use an extensive of relevant published materials such as books, journals, reports, newsletters, official websites and others

A. Introduction
Responsibility to Protect is new perspective in international relations toward looking in humanitarian interventions. Responsibility to Protect have three aspect, Responsibility to
prevent, Responsibility to react and Responsibility to build. This is a common step for doing Responsibility to Protect as tools of humanitarian interventions. As new doctrine in
international relations approaches have many questions of it. how to use Responsibility to Protect? Who can use Responsibility to Protect? And why use Responsibility to Protect?.
Responsibility to Protect uses in several condition, if the state cant protect their civil from genoside, etnic cleansing, mass killing and unhumantaraian issue.
Responsibility to Protect doctrine streeses the state protect their civulizatiobs from unhumanitarian issue. Isnot only uses by UN, but it can use by the international community
such as state, people or international organizations it concern in humanitarian issue. Responsibility to Protect is not talk about milltary interventions. Its talk about how to resolve
the conflict, inter state conflict, intra state conflict, horizontal conflict and the other conflict. The military interventions is the lasted choice from the Responsibility to Protect perspective.
We took before that Responsibility to Protect have three aspect or three step by doing and duty. Responsibility to prevent is began of opereation by humanitarian interventions. Preventif
approaches is the important one, because every conflict have to disscue before. The element of prevent like economic, sosial, law as humanitarian assisntent.
If the Responsibility to prevent not effective the we can do Responsibility to react. In this case the state or international organizations can do it with the military interventions. The
second step focus how kept the civilizations by violating, mass killing and others. Military interventions uses to protect civilizations by their state or group do unhumanitarian
interventions. But this step it have big consequenses, because the military perspective is used. Author thing is the general view or general perspective by Responsibility to react. Reactions
means if the consolidations and reunifications did not work to hit the conflict.
After military interventions Responsibility to react we have Responsibility to rebuild. The last step is not also uses by state which do Responsibility to protect. Develop country after
military interventions is importan one. But in fact, the last step seldom uses by country or state used Responsibility to protect, because the reason of actor, we are just kept your civil but in
development after that is your responsibility. So the new doctrine of Responsibility to protect must be have rule for the actor to build and develop the subject of Responsibility to protect and
its include as your responsibility.
ASEAN is the biggest international oragnizations in south east asia as representative by state have duty to make condition and situation be secure in regionalism. ASEAN have function
to make collective assignment to kept the regional by violating of human right of kept by humanity issue. Several days ago Myanmar have the big problem about humanity. Rohingnya
as auntentic or original people in Myanmar has drove out by government of Myanmar. Author thing that phenomenon is unusual, because Myanmar have strike the human issue like
rohingnya. ASEAN must have attentions and direct participants by this issue. It have to action, and have kept rohingya by murdered, government of Myanmar as legal institutions to kept their
people instead strike and kill rohingnya. Author thing it is the unhumanitarian problem. ASEAN must be take responsibility by this phenomenon.
