Brunei\, China\, Malaysia\, the Philippines\, and Vietnam claim parts of the South China Sea. The Indo-Pacific states wish to ensure freedom of navigation and overflight as stipulated in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

The economic overexploitation and increasing conflicts between competing resource users have increasingly degraded ocean health in the Indo-Pacific region. With the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goal 14\, life below water\, an integrated approach is needed to strengthen the rule of law in the maritime domain. The rule of law needs to be in place and enforced to regulate maritime activities such as fishing\, hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation\, mining\, coastal development\, maritime transport\, and many more. Join this session (Day 3) of the virtual symposium will feature discourse on the importance of the rule of law in monitoring maritime activities\, ensuring sustainable development in the maritime domain.
