ASEAN, or the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, has been a political and economic alliance of ten member nations, founded in 1967. ASEAN exists to assist in furthering prosperity, promoting regional stability, fostering cooperation, and providing mutual aid to its member states. Despite the lofty goals of the organization, threats to regional stability have caused internal strife and external pressure that threatens its very foundation. In this committee, Delegates will represent ASEAN member nations and associates as they seek to address how they can better secure a peaceful solution to the myriad of disputes and conflicts throughout the member nations.
