From the COC to a Code of Conduct for Maritime Engagements in Southeast Asia
BY VU HAI DANG | SEPTEMBER 25, 2023
AMTI UPDATE
At the 56th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting and its related meetings in Jakarta in July, it was announced that negotiations for the Code of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (COC) had achieved progress on two fronts. First, the second reading of the Single Draft COC Negotiating Text was completed. Second, a set of Guidelines for Accelerating the Early Conclusion of an Effective and Substantive Code of Conduct in the South China Sea was adopted at the Post Ministerial Conference 10+1 Meeting with China. As a matter of fact, these developments are rather more procedural (and perhaps political) than substantive.

The UN and the multilateral system are in crisis – what the Global South must do

World map showing country classifications per the IMF[1] and the UN[2] (last updated April 2023). The countries in light blue form the “Global North”, the rest are mostly categorized as belonging to the “Global South”, with few exceptions under some listings.
The concept of Global North and Global South (or North–South divide in a global context) is used to describe a grouping of countries along the lines of socio-economic and political characteristics. The Global South is a term that broadly comprises countries in the regions of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia (without Israel, Japan, and South Korea), and Oceania (without Australia and New Zealand), according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).[3][4][a] Most of the countries in the Global South are characterized by low income, dense population, poor infrastructure, and often political or cultural marginalization.[5] The Global South forms one side of the divide; on the other is the Global North (broadly comprising Northern America and Europe, Israel, Japan and South Korea, as well as Australia and New Zealand, according to the UNCTAD).[3][4][a] As such, the terms Global North and Global South do not refer to the cardinal directions of north and south as many of the Global South countries are geographically located in the Northern Hemisphere.
