It is widely understood that the environmental problem is getting borderless and challenging, requiring concerted efforts of many states and increasing the need for international agreements. However, only for the agreement to exist may not be sufficient—the agreement needs to be credible: obliging the signatories with actions associated with the goal, displaying clear and unambiguous rules, and involving third parties in the dispute settlement. Unfortunately, in the presence of the non-interference principle, the creation of a credible agreement may be implausible as, conceptually, the principle is innately antipodal to hard obligations and third-party involvement in the dispute settlement. This case study seeks to understand how the legalization of the ASEAN Agreement of Transboundary Haze Pollution conformed to the non-interference principle and influenced Indonesia, the main laggard, in dealing with the predicament accordingly. Diverging with the common understanding, the agreement seems to carry strong obligation and precision, as shown in the main agreement and its protocols. However, the apparent downside lies in the lack of delegation dimension, as the current dispute resolution is made through diplomatic efforts that led to fruitless outcomes. This study counters the simplistic view of the association between the non-interference principle and the lack of obligations. Overall, this study points out the importance of the delegation dimension in regionalization and encourages the interventionist approach concerning global environmental protection.

众所周知，环境问题正在变得无国界和具有挑战性，需要许多国家的共同努力并增加对国际协议的需求。然而，仅仅存在协议可能还不够——协议需要可信：要求签署方采取与目标相关的行动，展示清晰明确的规则，并让第三方参与争端解决。不幸的是，在不干涉原则存在的情况下，建立可信的协议可能是不可信的，因为从概念上讲，该原则与硬性义务和第三方参与争端解决是天生对立的。本案例研究旨在了解东盟跨界雾霾污染协议的合法化如何符合不干涉原则，并相应地影响了主要落后者印度尼西亚应对困境。与共识不同的是，该协议似乎具有很强的义务和精确性，如主要协议及其协议所示。然而，明显的缺点在于缺乏授权层面，因为目前的争端解决是通过外交努力进行的，结果却是徒劳。这项研究反驳了不干涉原则与缺乏义务之间关联的简单化观点。全面的，
