description |
Southeast Asia embarked on a determined journey towards progressive and sustainable socioeconomic
well-being under the umbrella of ASEAN that will turn 32 this year. The result is
visible. The vast and complex maritime dimension of Southeast Asia is a major determinant
of the challenges the region face. The maritime challenges are examined with reference to
law enforcement and services under national and international obligations of the governments
of the region. The idea of a coast guard is important here. The coast guard is an old concept
in a new appreciation in the post-UNCLOS world. It is the ideal force to establish rule of law
and provide services at sea by their international acceptance and operational focus. The sea
farers are at ease to communicate and interact with the coast guard. The costal communities
are free to interact with them. They could also enhance confidence building measures
between nations, the much needed geopolitical ingredient in troubled times. The governments
have to appreciate and understand the role of the coast guard in safeguarding the maritime
and other national interests in their identified maritime zones. Then only they will acquire the
necessary capacity and competence. Against this background the working paper examines the
maritime challenges of Southeast Asia and the capacity of its coast guards to deal with them
under the presumption that the potential for military engagements in future is limited in the
region. |
