In 1995, the ASEAN Heads of State and Government reaffirmed that "Cooperative peace and shared prosperity shall be the fundamental goals of ASEAN."
In 1967, ASEAN has achieved the highest international profile in a field. While cooperation among members is very important to be diversified so never forget a simple task. In striving to challenge both try to strengthen cooperation and maintain the unity of doing things.
ASEAN is an important partner for any countries in Asia. It has a multi-faceted relationship with ASEAN since 1974. In 1970, the Malaysia-ASEAN cooperation has involved both efforts to improve regional security, for example through the Cambodian peace process in 1991-19...

It also remains to be seen whether ASEAN can strengthen institutions to provide for the safety and certainty in the execution of the agreement and provide an effective mechanism for dispute resolution. ASEAN Charter adopted in 2008 to support the importance of the dispute settlement mechanism and the Association is currently looking to develop a more effective mechanism for this purpose.
ASEAN continued a major effort to ensure the goals of the AEC, Economics shows membership will take the necessary steps to implement the ASEAN Free Trade Area.

every nation in the world belongs to the United Nations. The United Nations has four purposes: to maintain international peace and security; to develop friendly relations among nations; to cooperate in solving international problems and in promoting respect for human rights; and to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations.The United Nations is not a world government though,and it does not make laws.

“Our object…is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles.

Southeast Asia has been controlled by Imperialistic powers since 1400s. These nations become prized for the various countries natural resources, strategic location, and the new markets to be found. The geographical locations become one of the most important factors that lead to the development of each country separately. As we reach the 19th and 20th century, European, American and Asian imperialism still has its claws deep in Southeast Asia. Imperialists are the ones who decide and shape the nation’s leading them down the path to where they are now. Their location to other Southeast nations becomes another reason of interest, which eventually lends a hand in forming a nation.
Fifty-eight years after the signing of the Charter, the world has changed dramatically. Its universal character and comprehensiveness make the United Nations a unique and indispensable forum for governments to work together to address global issues. At the same time, there remains a large gap between aspiration and real accomplishment. There have been many successes and many failures. The United Nations is a bureaucracy that struggles – understandably – in its attempt to bring together 191 countries. It must come at no surprise, therefore, that a consensus cannot always be reached with so many different competing voices.
The political force moved away from the painstakingly and time-consuming technique of multilateral tariff negotiations to smaller regional and bilateral provisions - the Regional Trade Agreement. In these arrangements; members accord preferential treatment , basically agreeing to liberalize the exchange of goods and services amongst each another giving regard to certain trade barriers. RTA is not the first-hand way of trade liberalization though. Initially, when multilateral trade discussions used to happen, two-sided and multiparty FTA”s filled the vacuum. There were restrictions from stringent and premeditated trade arrangements earlier, thus a lot of states are now moving towards freer trade for their own benefits.
ASEAN was formed to promote economic growth, understand each other cultures and to enhance and sustain own country’s living standards so as to allow their citizens to maximize their full potential. These countries will also arrange a meeting regularly so as to discuss on how to improve on ASEAN Trade and also with more interaction, they are able to synchronize among them and it has the benefit to ensure that civil peace are always in place.
Working in the PRC with the various community partners made me learn to think in a collaborative approach about how to achieve goals; first, unite the goals, and second, reach them together. This collaborative approach will maximize the benefits for all parties and draw on everyone`s resources. It is important to note that in order to collaborate with others, patience and time are needed.
The OSCE was initially formed as the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe by Helsinki Final act in 1975. This act outlined the principles upon which the organization was to be based and the specific areas in which the members would work. The principles which guide the actions of states amongst themselves include: sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty, territorial integrity of States, peaceful settlement of disputes, non-intervention in internal affairs, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, equal rights and self-determination of peoples, co-operation among States, and fulfillment in good faith of obligations under international law. The document goes on to lay out that the states shall work together in the fields of human rights, on politico-military affairs and on economic, scientific and environmental issues. The organization has been unique from its inception because of the geographic area with which it was associated and the range of participants. It encompasses an area from Vladivostock to Vancouver with member states including both the United States of America and Canada...

Regional economic integration enhances political cooperation. Several group of nation can have significantly greater political influence than each nation would have by individually.
