1. Introduction The Association of South East Asian nation (ASEAN) is an Organisation formed by the East Asian nations in 1967. These nations include Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand which were the first five members state that formed the Association and later were joined by other smaller and weaker states such as; Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. This association is framed basically not to look at security matter and prefer to avoid also controversial political issues living it to national actions and multinational corporations through other channels. This means that other ASEAN member that joined the association is very weak state and is in process to building up their states. They purposely joined the Organisation just to increase their sovereignty and being able to dance in the international arena. This will enable them to be criticized on what they do; action on humanity, trade and other activities from their fellow members which might create tension that the Organisation cannot resolve will surely create disunity which will undermine the influence
