Indonesia's Humanitarian Diplomacy in Providing Aid for CycloneMocha Disaster in Myanmar and its Impact on Security andStability in Asean

Abstract

Cyclone Mocha in Myanmar has caused
disruption to government activities in Myanmar.
This disruption is one of the security threats that
needs to be responded appropriately so that it
does not have an impact on regional security
stability. Indonesia as the bearer of the ASEAN
chairmanship needs to take a diplomatic stance in
providing humanitarian assistance so as not to
trigger conflict. Therefore, Indonesia's
humanitarian diplomacy efforts at this moment
need to be analyzed in order to become a lesson
for the future. The method used in this study is a
literature study that analyzes data inductively
based on relevant information from sources
available on the internet. The study found that
Indonesia's humanitarian diplomacy still pays
attention to regional security interests. Indonesia
sent aid through the AHA Center as an ASEAN
disaster agency and directly on behalf of the
Indonesian people. Sending aid on behalf of the
Indonesian people shows Indonesia's neutrality
towards Myanmar's military junta government.
This method is accepted by the local government
because it is considered to have no special
tendencies that take advantage of Myanmar's
national emergency conditions. Indonesia's
humanitarian diplomacy in ASEAN, especially
Myanmar, reflects the Indonesian state's efforts to
promote and protect human rights, peace, stability
and prosperity in the ASEAN region. This shows
Indonesia's commitment to maintaining security
stability in the region through mobilizing
humanitarian solidarity
