Historical background
Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a domestic organization in South East Asia which embraced all ten peace-loving countries. Actually, we are united not just because a reason of geographic, but because of our primer needs to be united and gain foes as human being. Thus brilliant idea was coming in the late 1960s, simultaneously with Cold War of superpower nations, Sexual Revolution in France, and a controversial Apartheid in South Africa. At that historic time, five prominent Asian leaders, Adam Malik of Indonesia, Narciso R. Ramos of the Philippines, Tun Abdul Razak of Malaysia, S. Rajaratnam of Singapore, and Thanat Khoman of Thailand, were meeting together in Department of Foreign Affairs Building in Bangkok, Thailand for signing a document of five articles, shaking hands together, and voilà ASEAN was born. Since it, ASEAN was declared as a regional organization which supports United Nations Charter, especially on peace keeping and peace building agendas.
It is preasummeably said that ASEAN was never design to be an united-defense regional body. ASEAN was existed based on the needs of security at that time. Nowadays, ASEAN is more than an international organization whose Secretary Office has an only role to maintain culture of peace of ASEAN people.
