The SCSTT Virtual Library aims to be the world’s most comprehensive, easily accessible, and user-friendly repository of official statements, international agreements, and public-domain documents related to the South China Sea maritime territorial disputes.
As policies, institutions, and technologies change, important documents often become unavailable online. To help solve that challenge, SCSTT created the Virtual Library to help ensure that these documents remain available and easily accessible to researchers, governments, students, and others interested in South China Sea issues.
You can use the Virtual Library in several ways:
- Browse the SCSTT Virtual Library archives.
