Q.2 What do you understand by “rules-based order” ?
Ans: A rules-based order may generally be understood as a shared commitment by States to conduct their activities in accordance with an existing set of rules.
The rules-based order is underpinned by a system of global governance that has developed since the Second World War.
The term “rules-based order” blurs the distinction between binding and non-binding rules, giving the impression that all States and international actors are subject to this order, irrespective of whether or not they have consented to these rules.
