2011.12.08 - FCC club lunch with Jerome A. COHEN

The opinions expressed in this video are not necessarily those of The Foreign Correspondents' Club, Hong Kong.

Much of the rising tension in East Asia is generated by issues relating to China and the law of the sea. How should we understand conflicting claims over boundaries, islands and resources in the East and South China Seas? What about military activities in exclusive economic zones? How can tensions be reduced and cooperation enhanced? Professor Cohen has some new suggestions which he will share at this lunch.

Jerome A. COHEN, Professor of Law and Co-Director of NYU's US-Asia Law Institute, is also Adjunct Senior Fellow for Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations. He has authored and edited books on China's practice of international law, cooperates with Chinese counterparts on domestic and international legal problems and writes regular columns for newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
