Abstract
Globalization has brought along countless innovations and development to human activities at all levels. The ease of transportation and communication, along with the growing interdependence among states, have also allowed migrant workers to grow. Unfortunately, it also brought along new types of threats to the society, one which is the transnational crime. One type of transnational crime in particular, human trafficking, has been one of the threats to migrant workers’ security. The article begins with describing how human trafficking has been one of the transnational crimes that threatens migrant workers and how unilateral state measures have been insufficient to tackle it. Moving on from that, ASEAN’s identity as a central actor in Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific also makes it a good option for states to resort to it. This is also to say that as unilateral states measures to tackle transnational crimes are insufficient, states may resort to work together in multilateral frameworks provided by ASEAN. Moreover, ASEAN has also proved to be suitable in overcoming human trafficking as shown in its past works in that regard, like its cooperation with Australia in the ASEANAustralia Counter Trafficking. Aside from that, ASEAN’s character as a regional entity makes it capable of bringing states in the region to work together.
