Beschreibung
The year 2022 marked the 20th Anniversary of Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC). China and the ASEAN Member States issued a Joint Statement on this occasion. As another milestone consensus between ASEAN and China on the South China Sea, the Joint Statement recognises the benefits of having the South China Sea as a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation, appreciates the progress in the negotiations of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC), and reaffirms that the future adoption of the COC would further promote peace and stability in the region.
In a collaboration between the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation & Peace (CICP) and China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), this book discusses respective and joint DOC- and COC-related experiences and practices for a sustainable peace of the South China Sea, from the perspective of both Chinese as well as ASEAN scholars.
