Methods of the Research: This study uses a normative juridical method with the legal materials used in the study are primary, secondary and tertiary with the use of literature study techniques in the form of international legal regulations, scientific papers and literature.Results of the Research: Non-refoulement has binding power and must be obeyed by every country in the world considering that the principle of non-refoulement has a correlation with the principle of ius congens/jus congens which is coercive and bound for every State to implement it, both countries that are directly involved in the Convention and who are not involved. The implementation of the principle of non-refoulement against the Rohingya by ASEAN has not been fully implemented effectively. This can be seen from several ASEAN countries that are not proactive in handling the problem of Rohingya refugees. ASEAN as a Regional Organization that has the authority to intervene in human rights issues in Southeast Asia cannot act effectively because it is subject to the principles of non-intervention and consensus.
