Abstract
Abstract This article examines the dispute settlement system of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), adopted under the auspices of ASEAN on 15 November 2020. RCEP’s Chapter 19 on dispute settlement confirms and enhances the so-called ‘ASEAN way’, which promotes flexibility, consensus and the avoidance of direct confrontation in resolving inter-State controversies. This article discusses how RCEP enhances the ‘ASEAN way’ by reference to certain significant provisions of Chapter 19, also by comparison to the dispute settlement provisions of the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Understanding and other ASEAN+1 Free Trade Agreements.
