Will the Philippines succeed in its case at ICJ against China for Extended Continental Shelf?

Рет қаралды 7,864

Күн бұрын

In 2012, the United Nations recognized Benham Rise as part of the Philippines' extended continental shelf, uncontested by China. Recently, the Philippines submitted a new claim for an extended continental shelf in the South China Sea, emphasizing their exclusive right to explore and exploit natural resources. This region is marked by increasing maritime conflicts, particularly with China, whose expansive claims overlap with those of the Philippines and other nations. Despite a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration invalidating China's claims, Beijing disputes the decision. Rising tensions have seen Chinese ships assaulting Philippine vessels, raising concerns of armed conflict. Initially seeking economic benefits from China, former President Duterte downplayed the tribunal's ruling. His successor, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., strengthened ties with the US after failed investments and continued Chinese aggression. The EU has increased support for the Philippines, promoting regional cooperation. China's rejection of the Philippines' recent claim highlights the complexity of maritime disputes and the need for diplomatic resolutions. Establishing maritime boundaries is crucial for securing resources and preventing conflicts. Like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth coverage of global economies and geopolitics.

its the Philippines reason because of the Treaty of Washington in 1900 all other claimants are False claims fairytale & fictional

One of the Geological Evidences that Philippines submit for it's Extended Continental Shelf in the West Palawan Region(where the location of Spratly Islands, considered a Sub-archipelagic Group of the Greater Palawan Archipelagic System composed of several Groups of Islands(Palawan(Mainland), Bacuit, Calamianes, Balabac, Cuyo, Kalayaan(Spratly's) and Cagayancillo in Sulu Sea) is the presence of the Mindoro-Palawan Microcontinent, which is an Extension and part of the overall Greater Philippine Mobile Belt System.

this extended continental shelf by Philippines should be secondary claim the primary claim should be the "Uti Possidestis Juris Principle/Doctrine" because China and other claimants summited in the Permanent Court of Arbitration recognizing the 3 treaties govern Philippine Territory especially the Treaty of Washington of 1900 in which immensely aided Philippines claim in essence China & other claimant becomes party to the Treaty of Washington 1900 & bound to the treaty so all of them cannot deny that Spratly islands/rocks & state of Sabah are Philippine territory especially Malaysia who is now double bound to the treaty of Washington 1900 1st inherited from the British 2nd in UNCLOS maritime dispute between China & PH so the Philippines can now assert as the sole valid claimant of large part of the South China Sea so the issue of who claims who everyone except the Philippines is false claimant, Trespassing & illegal occupation of sovereign territory

How is the Philippines being a “false claimant” if the 1982 UNCLOS entitles the Philippines 200 nm for fishing and sea bed resources from its coastline and the entitlement of another 150 nm based on geologic/geomorphic proof which it has in the submittal? Are you sure China isnt practicing malevolent distractive tactics to wear down the Philippines so it will in the end give in and allow China a lion share of its natural resources which China covets? This seems to be very clear specially when we consider China’s irreversible and humongous economic upheaval, repetitive natural tempests, unmitigating diseases and self-collapsing edifices and infrastructures. It does appear China's behavior thus far are the result of actions of a desperate and proud country who is looking for an undeserved payback to save themselves from a coming oblivion which they themselves created.

In 1900, the Philippines was just a colony without sovereignty, and all Philippine rights belonged to the United States

@@adamrichard1641 , bottom line is, no one believes in China’s claim anyway and is more of a gunboat diplomacy. That means they show up with their big coast guard ships or with numerical superiority and flaunt their large number of warships. That is their logic and it includes Taiwan the country who’ve always been under seige. I hope they see the Philippine Military as a rising regional power and they will soon be challenged. Chinas economy will be a fading memory.

It's already been decided, the P.I. has the right on those contested Island. The problem is the ICJ can't police and implement the ruling.

Wannabe superpower China is the problem! Although a signatory to UNCLOS, it doesn't recognize the ruling, perhaps thinking they're on their way to be a "superpower", perhaps they can get away with it? CCP days are numbered!

Bringing the case to ICJ, both parties need to sign an agreement as the decision by the court is binding. Will China agree? UNCLOS does not deal with sovereignty but only on maritime issues.

Is this their doing to dominate the world? Program of dominating as no.1 will disrupt, barriers are international regulation, conflicting ideas and defensive regulation of nations, geographical position, As abiding citizen of this wolrd We are bound to limited regulation not might makes right, it the the consensus of all member country involved. We are still to apply it in basis of regulation, negotiations, and arbitral award.

The South China Sea arbitration case was organized by a non-UN private court, which is invalid. On July 13, 2016, the United Nations issued a statement on its official Weibo, stating that the Permanent Court of Arbitration has no relationship with the United Nations. • The International Court of Justice issued a statement on its official website. The statement stated that "the award in the South China Sea Arbitration was made by a special arbitral tribunal under the Permanent Court of Arbitration. As a completely different institution, the International Court of Justice has never participated in the arbitration case."

if Malaysia ally with China, most of ASEAN will side with Malaysia. you are not familiar with the region's politic. Philippines is really on thin ice now... it is irrational and stupid for Philippines to start shit with Malaysia since that raise alot of red flag in ASEAN politic. and it kills the narrative that this is a battle against China.

@ysw8291 2 күн бұрын

Any arbitral ruling needs to be attended and agreed by all the parties involved in order to be valid. China did not attend or agree to the ruling. By this same logic, you can't hire a few retired judges and lease a court room to rule that you now own the house down the street. The fact that the arbitral ruling was 'created' in 2016 clearly implies that the island was owned by China before 2016 and the Philippines is the one claiming the island as their own. I am by no means an expert in the international maritime laws. I am just giving my humble opinion based on what you said in your video.
