Ultimately, it seeks to provide insights into how bilateral cooperation, legal interpretation, and strategic alignment can strengthen the international maritime order and promote stability and peace in the South China Sea. Two dimensions of this influence are explored in this study: Vietnam’s and American participations in the United Nations Conferences on the Law of the Sea; and the handling of concrete legal questions related to baselines, innocent passage, freedom of navigation, marine scientific research, Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, security and defense cooperation, marine environmental protection, the outer limits of the continental shelf, and high seas issues in the context of the South China Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNguyen Hong Thao is a Member of the United Nations International Law Commission (2017–2022 and 2023–2027) and served as an Arbitrator under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in the PCA Case No. 2019-28,\u003cem\u003e Dispute Concerning the Detention of Ukrainian Naval Vessels and Servicemen (Ukraine v. the Russian Federation). \u003c\/em\u003eHe is currently a Senior Lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, and Vietnam National University, Hanoi.
