The document recommends a solution to the territorial disputes in the South China Sea by allocating specific territories to each claimant nation within a certain radius of their shores. It also calls for the establishment of a joint development authority and UN peacekeeping forces to help maintain order until territorial borders are finalized by 2020. International funding would support this process, with contributions from claimant nations, and neutral countries could provide capital if needed. Military forces recently deployed to disputed areas would be removed, and unilateral resource extraction halted until the authorities are in place.
