Eversince its establishment, ASEAN has adopted a strict approach in tackling regional issues known as the ASEAN WAY including its non-intervention principle. In that regard, it requires consensus from all ASEAN member states without exception, no matter how long it takes before such problems can be addressed through ASEAN as a regional organization. If consensus is unfeasible, the problems will remain unresolved. Issues inflicting Rohingya ethnic, South China Sea, etc., are prime examples on ASEAN’s weakness as an institution. Compared to the European Union as a Supranational Organization, it has a more systematic and flexible approach in solving regional issues. The purpose of this research is to analyze to what extent EU law is applicable within ASEAN’s organizational structure to ensure a robust ASEAN integration so that one day it can achieve the status of a supranational organization like the European Union. This research method uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing the principles and instruments of international law applicable within ASEAN organizational structure, one of which is the ASEAN CHARTER as a legal basis that applies for all ASEAN member states, and further to what extent EU Law (EU LAW) is applicable within ASEAN organizational structure. The conclusion in this study is enhancing ASEAN's effectiveness in tackling regional issues and quickly adapting to global challenges such as the European Union, ASEAN countries must ignore differences and concentrate on restructuring ASEAN by redefining ASEAN Way and the Non-Intervention Principle for stronger regional integration and stability.

This paper examines the availability of legal interpreters in Bali as one of the two provinces in Indonesia with the highest demand for legal interpreters and its impact on non-Indonesian speakers.

It draws data from legal practitioners in Bali with experience working with interpreters. The data was obtained through interviews using semi-structured questions in Indonesian. Subsequently, the responses were translated into English, and the emerging themes were analysed using both inductive and deductive processes. Data collected reveals a concerning shortage of legal interpreters in Bali and a notable disparity between the availability of English-speaking interpreters versus non-English languages. It also exposes the practice of using English-Indonesian language pair interpreters for non-English-speaking individuals due to the unavailability of interpreters in certain languages. This practice negatively impacts fair access to justice in Bali and at the same time increases the potential for future appeals
