  • This house, as ASEAN, would afford freedom of movement to all nationals of its member states.

    Infoslide

    Under regional alliances, freedom of movement may be granted to nationals of member states. Freedom of movement, as defined, permits nationals to enter and reside in any member state within the regional alliance. This typically affords the ability to travel, work, study, and reside in any member state without the need for visas or work permits. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a regional economic and political alliance composed of the following 10 member states: Myanmar (also known as Burma), Cambodia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, and Brunei. In the status quo, ASEAN member states have implemented different measures to allow the freer movement of people, such as the ASEAN Free Trade Area and the ASEAN Economic Community. However, these measures are mainly focused on facilitating the movement of skilled workers and businesspeople, rather than ordinary nationals.
