Where are peace activists?
Although raising peace and environmental concerns, the South China Sea region does not seem to attract as much interest from international activism as it deserves. There is no doubt that local groups may have been working on these issues, but the author of this article has not found a single group, other than government-affiliated organisations, which has been involved with the issues. This maybe due to the fact that actions on sea are difficult, especially in an unsafe climate, and they require a fair amount of resources to be undertaken. Yet the region is simmering with potential armed conflicts. Caroline Lauer is a Peace News news editor. She lives in London, where she works as a professional journalist.
