The Role of Regional Organizations in Conflict Resolution: A Comparative Study of ASEAN, AU, and the EU

In the meantime, regional organizations have emerged as key actors in conflict resolution who can contribute to managing and mitigating intra-regional tensions. The work in this paper compares and contrasts the roles and duties of three global regional organizations, namely, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), AU (African Union), and EU (European Union) with respect to their role in conflict resolution. Comparatively, it's found a panel that despite the existence of mechanisms for peacebuilding and political dialogue in the EU, the principles of noninterference and consensus among ASEAN states sometimes prevent it from being involved in internal conflicts in its member states. Through examination of their institutional frameworks, conflict intervention methods, and effectiveness, this study provides insights into the general role of regional organizations in international conflict resolution.
