ASEAN Hopes Plus Partners will Adopt Air Code too

ASEAN defence ministers who backed the new multilateral air code yesterday are hoping to convince their counterparts in the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) grouping to sign on when they meet today. The air guidelines are meant to reduce the likelihood of accidents that could escalate into a conflict, especially with increased air traffic in the region. Dr Collin Koh, a research fellow at the RSIS, said that any such code is reliant on the goodwill of each signatory to comply, and there is always going to be a challenge of compliance and enforcement if isn’t binding.
