A Charter of Values for a Free, Peaceful, Inclusive and Prosperous Indo-Pacific

This Charter of Values is an attempt to present a regional voice on values that should guide regional and international engagement in the Indo-Pacific. They present perspectives collected from members of epistemic communities and Track 1.5 actors from 10 Indo-Pacific countries. 

Based on an exhaustive study of existing strategies, frameworks, outlooks, joint and country-level statements, and mandates of existing regional organisations, the research team at CSDR identified 9 sectors (listed below), where international engagement amongst various Indo-Pacific countries and extra-regional partners exists and can be guided by values. The 9 sectors of international engagement for which this charter provides guiding values are:

  • Regional Engagement and Dispute Management
  • Maritime Security and Cooperation
  • Democratic Values in the Indo-Pacific
  • Human Rights and Freedoms
  • Gender in Foreign Policy and Action
  • Role of Civil Society in the Indo-Pacific
