Philippines win arbitration case vs. China over South China Sea
July 2016, It has finally been decided that the Philippines has
exclusive sovereign rights over the West Philippine Sea (in the South China
Sea) and that China’s “nine-dash line” is invalid, according to the United
Nations (UN) Arbitral Tribunal.
The Tribunal also said that China has violated Philippine sovereign rights.

“Having found that certain areas are within the exclusive economic
zone of the Philippines, the Tribunal found that China had violated the
Philippines’ sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone by (a) interfering
with Philippine fishing and petroleum exploration, (b) constructing artificial
islands and (c) failing to prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in the zone,”
the tribunal statement said.
China said that it was the victim in the maritime dispute over the
West Philippine Sea and that it would never accept any decision by the United
Nations (UN) arbitral tribunal.
“The origin and crux of the disputes between China and the
Philippines in the South China Sea lie in the territorial sovereignty disputes
caused by the Philippines’ illegal occupation of some islands and reefs of
China’s Nansha Islands since the 1970s,” Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokeperson Hua Chunying said in an official statement.
