Description

ASEAN has an abiding interest in peace and stability in this region and in freedom of navigation in and overflight above the South China Sea. Much of ASEAN’s commerce, including its members’ traded food and energy resources, passes through or over the South China Sea. The stakes for ASEAN and its members in the South China Sea are very high. This book is the product of a conference on “Entering Uncharted Waters? ASEAN and the South China Sea Dispute”, initiated to remind all claimants to bring their claims as close as possible to the provisions of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. After all, ASEAN has sought to promote the rule of law in the region. The conference and this book were inspired by the following objectives: peace, stability, freedom of navigation and overflight, confidence building, cooperation, and the rule of law.
