The UN can be a source of inspiration for ASEAN. In addition, The UN is a reference for other international organization including ASEAN in protecting universal human rights. Furthermore, there are some facts that they have similar situation such as a heterogeneous grouping of states economically, politically, culturally, and socially; such as both also have strong intergovernmental character. Although big disparity in terms of number of the member states.
