In 1976, Bali witnessed the birth of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC), also

known as Bali Concord I, where member countries agreed that among ASEAN nations,

each will not use force but will seek peaceful solutions in resolving conflicts.

To date, there are 29 (countries) High Contracting Parties, guided by the following

fundamental principles:

Mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity, and

national identity of all nations;

The right of every State to lead its national existence free from external interference,

subversion, or coercion;

Non-interference in the internal affairs of one another;

Settlement of differences or disputes by peaceful manner;

Renunciation of the threat or use of force; and

Effective cooperation among themselves.

The Bali Concord II, which was endorsed at the Ninth ASEAN Summit in

October 2003, is a historic step toward regional integration.

The Bali Concord II consists of three pillars, namely an ASEAN Security

Community (ASC), an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and an

ASEAN Socio-cultural Community (ASCC) among ASEAN member

countries.
