Since the late 1990s, international institutions have sought to establish rule of law and to mediate between the diverse claimants. In this breakfast meeting, we expand on the role of international organisations and instruments. Specifically, we will discuss one of the most recent and prominent attempts of international dispute settlement between China and the Philippines.

ABOUT THE SERIES
The South China Sea has long been a disputed region. Neighbouring states, fishing communities and international powers have fought over access, resources, and maritime borders. In recent history, not least due to China’s rise as a regional hegemon, the South China Sea has become one of the most critical flashpoints of our times.
