A Cohesive, Peaceful and Resilient
Region with Shared Responsibility for
Comprehensive Security
In building a cohesive, peaceful and resilient Political
Security Community, ASEAN subscribes to the principle
of comprehensive security, which goes beyond the
requirements of traditional security but also takes into
account non-traditional aspects vital to regional and
national resilience, such as the economic, socio-
cultural, and environmental dimensions of
development. ASEAN is also committed to conflict
prevention/confidence building measures, preventive
diplomacy, and post-conflict peace building
