The Association of Southeast Asian Nations leaders' summit, held in Indonesia through May 11, failed to produce a concrete solution to the crisis in Myanmar, the biggest issue facing the multilateral group.
ASEAN's response has been largely hampered by disagreements among member countries over the need to increase pressure on Myanmar's military, which has continued to repress civilians since launching a takeover in February 2021. To halt the humanitarian crisis, ASEAN needs to regain its internal cohesion.
