Abstract
This study discusses the role of NGOS in the case of Indonesian Humanitarian Alliance for Myanmar (AKIM: Aliansi Kemanusian Indonesia Untuk Myanmar) in handling humanitarian crises experienced by Rohingya ethnic groups in Myanmar. This phenomenon in Myanmar is interesting when NGO S (AKIM) is able to contribute when state actors and IGO S get a blockade from the Myanmar government. In this case NGOS in the pattern of modern international relations is able to show a role that cannot be carried out by the state or international organizations between state governments (IGO-S). The phenomenon shows that NGO S has more access to enter in the settlement of cases of humanitarian crises experienced by Rohingya ethnic groups in Myanmar, after the Myanmar government gave a blockade against other countries and IGO S included denial of the assistance offered by the United Nations. The method used in this study is to use a qualitative paradigm by using a case study strategy to observe the symptoms that occur. While in data collection researchers use study documents or known as librarian research as well as by conducting in-depth interviews with pre-determined sources, who are considered to have the capacity theoretically, as well as practically. After that the data is processed with interpretive analytical techniques to draw conclusions and to formulate the model to be made in this study.
