The South China sea region has emerged as one of the areas of intense global focus with claims and counter claims of contending countries flooding the regionin an atmosphere of mistrust and animosity. The debate and actions by maritime para military forces, fishing fleets , agencies behaving like maritime militia have underscored the shrill cry for establishing/ reasserting sovereignty over disparate islands and ―rocks raising it to a crescendo. The entire atmosphere in the area seems laden with a growing disenchantment with the efficacy of the multilateral forum s like ASEAN due to the growing divisions evidenced by the recent failure to issue a joint communique at the Pnom Penh meeting recently. Depending on the perception and loyalties of the viewer, but a majority of the contending littorals would like to place the blame of the imbroglio at the Chinese doorstep – much to the chagrin of the latter.
