Her first was that the Philippine claim involved territorial claims which is outside the purview of UNCLOS.
ooops. are we then, on the right track? and why did our american arbitration lawyer accept the job? he must know something...
She added though that “since the end of World War II, the international community, has acknowledged the existence of China’s nine-dash lines with no country ever questioning it until oil resources were discovered in the area.â€
and i thought the world knew about the nine-dash line only when china started moving in, when they learned about the existence of oil resources in the area.
Without expounding on the nature of the lines, she claimed that it is “not considered as a boundary line†and they “have not affected international navigation in the area.†She claimed that there was “â€no international law applied in this regard to the region.â€
if the lines are not boundary lines, why claim what's bound by those lines as their own?
