This recommendation by OIOIO aims to improve ASEAN's international influence by giving members a regional dispute resolution option. The proposal suggests creating a Permanent Dispute Resolution Body to increase effectiveness and flexibility. Currently, the ad hoc Dispute Resolution Panel is underutilized due to its ineffectiveness. The proposal seeks to address overlapping membership issues and provide states with the ability to set regional precedents in dispute resolution. By establishing a permanent body, ASEAN can enhance its influence on the international stage.
