Supporters of Malaysia argue that as a non-party to the Rome Statute, it bears no ICC arrest obligation; they maintain sovereign engagement with Myanmar is lawful and aids regional diplomacy.
Supporters of Malaysia counter that as a non-state party to the Rome Statute, Malaysia bears no legal obligation to execute the ICC's arrest warrant, and hosting a foreign leader does not breach any treaty duty it has not signed.
Supporters of Malaysia argue that hosting Min Aung Hlaing advances ASEAN diplomacy and regional stability, prioritizing pragmatic engagement with Myanmar's junta over ICC warrants that Kuala Lumpur never recognized as binding.
Supporters of Malaysia argue that hosting Min Aung Hlaing advances ASEAN diplomacy and regional stability, and that the ICC prosecutor's warrant lacks enforcement power—so Kuala Lumpur gains influence without real cost.

Supporters of Malaysia argue that welcoming Min Aung Hlaing reflects ASEAN's non-interference principle and regional stability needs, not an endorsement of impunity.

Supporters of the ICC prosecutor argue that welcoming Min Aung Hlaing betrays ASEAN's inherited norms of justice and precedent, weakening the cultural authority of courts that uphold order across generations.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor argue that hosting Min Aung Hlaing signals a cultural retreat from the rule-of-law values Malaysia has long claimed, weakening regional norms of accountability.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor counter that cultural sovereignty cannot shield a state from universal jurisdiction norms, since ASEAN's non-interference custom remains regional, not a legal bar to accountability.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor argue Malaysia's welcome for Min Aung Hlaing undercuts its legal duty to cooperate with the court's arrest bid, since hosting an ICC suspect signals impunity for alleged crimes.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor argue Malaysia's welcome for Min Aung Hlaing conflicts with its legal duty to cooperate with the court's arrest request, weakening the rule of law.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor counter that Malaysia's own domestic laws and ASEAN commitments still bind it to cooperate, so the non-signatory defense does not shield Kuala Lumpur from accountability norms.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor argue Malaysia's embrace of Min Aung Hlaing exposes sovereignty talk as cover: states shield useful strongmen when it suits them, so the court must press on without them.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor argue Malaysia's warm welcome for Min Aung Hlaing reveals that sovereignty and regional ties outweigh justice commitments when powerful interests are at stake.
Supporters of the ICC prosecutor counter that pragmatic engagement with Min Aung Hlaing rewards impunity and weakens the Court's leverage, since junta cooperation is bought, not earned, and unenforced warrants invite defiance.
