192	868058	to the PCA press statement. The arbitration panel also ruled that having found that none of the features claimed by	China	was capable of generating an exclusive economic zone, the Tribunal found that it could without delimiting a boundary declare that
192	868102	are within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, because those areas are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of	China	. In other words, Chinese-controlled bits of rock and reef in the South China Sea are within waters that the

192	1624854	consent. Finally, we show that the Arbitration is neither binding nor helpful to the settlement of disputes in the South	China	Sea. We argue and state as follows: I. State consent as the basis of the compulsory arbitration There is no
192	1625111	to compulsory procedures only by agreement of the parties to the dispute (Articles 286, 299). So far, 35 States, including	China	, have made such declarations. Fourth, negotiation and exchange of views are prior requirements to trigger compulsory procedures (Articles 279, 283

192	1625455	the 1970s, the Philippines invaded eight maritime features of the SCS Islands, which gave rise to the territorial disputes between	China	and the Philippines. Later on, with the negotiation of the UNCLOS in process, the Philippines expanded its maritime claims, which
192	1625492	its maritime claims, which overlapped with Chinas and led to their maritime delimitation disputes. The real disputes in the South	China	Sea are therefore of and about territorial sovereignty and maritime delimitation. According to the principle that the land dominates the
192	1625550	delimitation, cannot be determined; consequently, the task of delimitation cannot start. Therefore, the territory and delimitation disputes in the South	China	Sea are closely intertwined, and the territorial dispute is predominant. In the Arbitration, the Philippines raised three categories of inter
192	1626010	process. These non-abuse requirements serve an essential role in safeguarding the overarching principle of state consent. However, the South	China	Sea Arbitration demonstrates how the legal process is abused by one party to the dispute, and how the arbitral organ

Writing a Manufacturing Contract Some of the important considerations, issues and questions to consider when drafting a	China	manufacturing agreement: Decide if the agreement with your manufacturers will be exclusive or nonexclusive. Decide the manufacturers obligations to sell
192	1630500	contract include: Product Testing: Where and how will you test your product? Will you do you own independent testing in	China	or will you wait until you receive the product in your home country? Will you require the Chinese factory to
192	1630538	Chinese factory to test and then provide you with test results? If you will do your own independent testing in	China	, it is important to set out the testing procedure in writing. Manufacturing Set-up Costs:Your factory may ask you to
192	1630627	protected from increases in the costs of materials. The normal way pricing is done for this kind of item in	China	is as follows: The product price is fixed for a set period, say, one year. The Chinese manufacturer takes the
192	1631489	of the factory. Absent a clear agreement on how to proceed, the foreign buyer will lose pretty much every time.	China	Manufacturing Contracts Product Development Agreements Foreign companies that outsource their product manufacturing to China often co-develop their products with
192	1631503	will lose pretty much every time. China Manufacturing Contracts Product Development Agreements Foreign companies that outsource their product manufacturing to	China	often co-develop their products with Chinese manufacturers. In some cases, the foreign company has completed its product development and
192	1631610	a blend of both parties contributions. The product development stage is the highest risk stage for foreign companies manufacturing in	China	, yet it is also the stage most neglected by foreign companies. Foreign companies will use NNN agreements in the factory
192	1631872	projected. The only good way to address the above product development risks is with a product development agreement enforceable in	China	. A good product development agreement covers the period between the NNN agreement stage when you are figuring out which Chinese

192	1632801	way to know your factory is to do due diligence on them. The bare minimum due diligence on your potential	China	manufacturing partner should include the following: Obtain the Chinese manufacturers actual Chinese company name. This can then be verified by

192	1671628	of the Sea (the Convention) in the arbitration instituted by the Republic of the Philippines against the Peoples Republic of	China	. This arbitration concerned the role of historic rights and the source of maritime entitlements in the South China Sea, the
192	1671646	Republic of China. This arbitration concerned the role of historic rights and the source of maritime entitlements in the South	China	Sea, the status of certain maritime features and the maritime entitlements they are capable of generating, and the lawfulness of
192	1671670	of certain maritime features and the maritime entitlements they are capable of generating, and the lawfulness of certain actions by	China	that were alleged by the Philippines to violate the Convention. In light of limitations on compulsory dispute settlement under the

192	1672075	it has jurisdiction to consider the Parties dispute concerning historic rights and the source of maritime entitlements in the South	China	Sea. On the merits, the Tribunal concluded that the Convention comprehensively allocates rights to maritime areas and that protections for
192	1672117	existing rights to resources were considered, but not adopted in the Convention. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that, to the extent	China	had historic rights to resources in the waters of the South China Sea, such rights were extinguished to the extent
192	1672129	Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that, to the extent China had historic rights to resources in the waters of the South	China	Sea, such rights were extinguished to the extent they were incompatible with the exclusive economic zones provided for in the

192	1672185	of other States, had historically made use of the islands in the South China Sea, there was no evidence that	China	had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters or their resources. The Tribunal concluded that there was no legal basis
192	1672207	historically exercised exclusive control over the waters or their resources. The Tribunal concluded that there was no legal basis for	China	to claim historic rights to resources within the sea areas falling within the nine-dash line. Status of Features: The
192	1672252	to maritime areas and the status of features. The Tribunal first undertook an evaluation of whether certain reefs claimed by	China	are above water at high tide. Features that are above water at high tide generate an entitlement to at least
192	1672334	and relied on historical materials in evaluating the features. The Tribunal then considered whether any of the features claimed by	China	could generate maritime zones beyond 12 nautical miles. Under the Convention, islands generate an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical
192	1672555	the Spratly Islands cannot generate maritime zones collectively as a unit. Having found that none of the features claimed by	China	was capable of generating an exclusive economic zone, the Tribunal found that it couldwithout delimiting a boundarydeclare that certain sea
192	1672597	are within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, because those areas are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of	China	. Lawfulness of Chinese Actions: The Tribunal next considered the lawfulness of Chinese actions in the South China Sea. Having found
192	1672614	possible entitlement of China. Lawfulness of Chinese Actions: The Tribunal next considered the lawfulness of Chinese actions in the South	China	Sea. Having found that certain areas are within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, the Tribunal found that China
192	1672634	China Sea. 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
192	1672683	prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in the zone. The Tribunal also held that fishermen from the Philippines (like those from	China	) had traditional fishing rights at Scarborough Shoal and that China had interfered with these rights in restricting access. The Tribunal
192	1672693	also held that fishermen from the Philippines (like those from China) had traditional fishing rights at Scarborough Shoal and that	China	had interfered with these rights in restricting access. The Tribunal further held that Chinese law enforcement vessels had unlawfully created
192	1672760	recent large-scale land reclamation and construction of artificial islands at seven features in the Spratly Islands and found that	China	had caused severe harm to the coral reef environment and violated its obligation to preserve and protect fragile ecosystems and
192	1672817	aware that Chinese fishermen have harvested endangered sea turtles, coral, and giant clams on a substantial scale in the South	China	Sea (using methods that inflict severe damage on the coral reef environment) and had not fulfilled their obligations to stop
192	1672936	reclamation and construction of artificial islands was incompatible with the obligations on a State during dispute resolution proceedings, insofar as	China	has inflicted irreparable harm to the marine environment, built a large artificial island in the Philippines exclusive economic zone, and

192	1674694	to Philippine vessels navigating in the vicinity of Scarborough Shoal; (14) Since the commencement of this arbitration in January 2013,	China	has unlawfully aggravated and extended the dispute by, among other things: (a) interfering with the Philippines rights of navigation in
192	1674782	activities at Mischief Reef, Cuarteron Reef, Fiery Cross Reef, Gaven Reef, Johnson Reef, Hughes Reef and Subi Reef; and (15)	China	shall respect the rights and freedoms of the Philippines under the Convention, shall comply with its duties under the Convention

192	1674963	China and the Philippines have agreed, through bilateral instruments and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South	China	Sea, to settle their relevant disputes through negotiations. By unilaterally initiating the present arbitration, the Philippines has breached its obligation
192	1675032	an integral part of maritime delimitation between the two countries, thus falling within the scope of the declaration filed by	China	in 2006 in accordance with the Convention, which excludes, inter alia, disputes concerning maritime delimitation from compulsory arbitration and other
192	1675058	the Convention, which excludes, inter alia, disputes concerning maritime delimitation from compulsory arbitration and other compulsory dispute settlement procedures; Although	China	has not made equivalent public statements with respect to the merits of the majority of the Philippines claims, the Tribunal
192	1675231	Tribunal considered a number of preliminary matters with respect to its jurisdiction. The Tribunal noted that both the Philippines and	China	are parties to the Convention and that the Convention does not permit a State to except itself generally from the
192	1675432	the Convention. The Tribunal accepted that there is a dispute between the Parties concerning sovereignty over islands in the South	China	Sea, but held that the matters submitted to arbitration by the Philippines do not concern sovereignty. The Tribunal considered that
192	1675484	Philippines Submissions and that doing so would not advance the sovereignty claims of either Party to islands in the South	China	Sea. The Tribunal also rejected the argument set out in Chinas Position Paper that the Parties dispute is actually about
192	1675524	about maritime boundary delimitation and therefore excluded from dispute settlement by Article 298 of the Convention and a declaration that	China	made on 25 August 2006 pursuant to that Article. The Tribunal noted that a dispute concerning whether a State has
192	1675668	the Convention and other rights (including any Chinese historic rights) is a dispute concerning the Convention and (b) that where	China	has not clearly stated its position, the existence of a dispute may be inferred from the conduct of a State
192	1675733	considered whether the absence from this arbitration of other States that have made claims to the islands of the South	China	Sea would be a bar to the Tribunals jurisdiction. The Tribunal noted that the rights of other States would not
192	1675863	Tribunal noted that it had received a communication from Malaysia on 23 June 2016, recalling Malaysias claims in the South	China	Sea. The Tribunal compared its decisions on the merits of the Philippines Submissions with the rights claimed by Malaysia and
192	1675901	by Malaysia and reaffirmed its decision that Malaysia is not an indispensable party and that Malaysias interests in the South	China	Sea do not prevent the Tribunal from addressing the Philippines Submissions. d. Preconditions to Jurisdiction In its Award on Jurisdiction
192	1675984	argument set out in Chinas Position Paper that the 2002 ChinaASEAN Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South	China	Sea prevented the Philippines from initiating arbitration. The Tribunal held that the Declaration is a political agreement and not legally
192	1676065	in Southeast Asia, and the Convention on Biological Diversity, and a series of joint statements issued by the Philippines and	China	referring to the resolution of disputes through negotiations and concluded that none of these instruments constitute an agreement that would
192	1676143	the arbitration. The Tribunal concluded that this requirement was met in the record of diplomatic communications between the Philippines and	China	, in which the Philippines expressed a clear preference for multilateral negotiations involving the other States surrounding the South China Sea
192	1676162	and China, in which the Philippines expressed a clear preference for multilateral negotiations involving the other States surrounding the South	China	Sea, while China insisted that only bilateral talks could be considered. e. Exceptions and Limitations to Jurisdiction In its Award
192	1676165	which the Philippines expressed a clear preference for multilateral negotiations involving the other States surrounding the South China Sea, while	China	insisted that only bilateral talks could be considered. e. Exceptions and Limitations to Jurisdiction In its Award of 12 July
192	1676260	to claims of historic sovereignty over bays and other near-shore waters. Reviewing Chinas claims and conduct in the South	China	Sea, the Tribunal concluded that China claims historic rights to resources within the nine-dash line, but does not claim
192	1676266	bays and other near-shore waters. Reviewing Chinas claims and conduct in the South China Sea, the Tribunal concluded that	China	claims historic rights to resources within the nine-dash line, but does not claim historic title over the waters of
192	1676289	rights to resources within the nine-dash line, but does not claim historic title over the waters of the South	China	Sea. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that it had jurisdiction to consider the Philippines claims concerning historic rights and, as between
192	1676313	Tribunal concluded that it had jurisdiction to consider the Philippines claims concerning historic rights and, as between the Philippines and	China	, the nine-dash line. In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal also considered whether the Philippines Submissions were

192	1676452	Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal reviewed evidence about the reefs and islands claimed by China in the South	China	Sea and concluded that none is capable of generating an entitlement to an exclusive economic zone. Because China has no

192	1677053	The Tribunal also examined the historical record to determine whether China actually had historic rights to resources in the South	China	Sea prior to the entry into force of the Convention. The Tribunal noted that there is evidence that Chinese navigators

192	1677282	South China Sea In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal considered the status of features in the South	China	Sea and the entitlements to maritime areas that China could potentially claim pursuant to the Convention. The Tribunal first undertook
192	1677291	2016, the Tribunal considered the status of features in the South China Sea and the entitlements to maritime areas that	China	could potentially claim pursuant to the Convention. The Tribunal first undertook a technical evaluation as to whether certain coral reefs
192	1677314	claim pursuant to the Convention. The Tribunal first undertook a technical evaluation as to whether certain coral reefs claimed by	China	are or are not above water at high tide. Under Articles 13 and 121 of the Convention, features that are
192	1677377	at high tide generate no entitlement to maritime zones. The Tribunal noted that many of the reefs in the South	China	Sea have been heavily modified by recent land reclamation and construction and recalled that the Convention classifies features on the
192	1677510	Reef and concluded that both are high tide features. The Tribunal then considered whether any of the features claimed by	China	could generate an entitlement to maritime zones beyond 12 nautical miles. Under Article 121 of the Convention, islands generate an
192	1677829	Examining the historical record, the Tribunal noted that the Spratly Islands were historically used by small groups of fishermen from	China	, as well as other States, and that several Japanese fishing and guano mining enterprises were attempted in the 1920s and
192	1677964	islands such as the Spratly Islands to generate maritime zones collectively as a unit. c. Chinese Activities in the South	China	Sea In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal considered the lawfulness under the Convention of various Chinese actions
192	1677988	Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal considered the lawfulness under the Convention of various Chinese actions in the South	China	Sea. Having found that Mischief Reef, Second Thomas Shoal and Reed Bank are submerged at high tide, form part of
192	1678028	of the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of the Philippines, and are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of	China	, the Tribunal concluded that the Convention is clear in allocating sovereign rights to the Philippines with respect to sea areas
192	1678063	Philippines with respect to sea areas in its exclusive economic zone. The Tribunal found as a matter of fact that	China	had (a) interfered with Philippine petroleum exploration at Reed Bank, (b) purported to prohibit fishing by Philippine vessels within the
192	1678132	d) constructed installations and artificial islands at Mischief Reef without the authorization of the Philippines. The Tribunal therefore concluded that	China	had violated the Philippines sovereign rights with respect to its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf. The Tribunal next examined
192	1678170	Tribunal next examined traditional fishing at Scarborough Shoal and concluded that fishermen from the Philippines, as well as fishermen from	China	and other countries, had long fished at the Shoal and had traditional fishing rights in the area. Because Scarborough Shoal
192	1678243	extinguished by the Convention. Although the Tribunal emphasized that it was not deciding sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal, it found that	China	had violated its duty to respect to the traditional fishing rights of Philippine fishermen by halting access to the Shoal
192	1678379	artificial islands at seven features in the Spratly Islands has caused severe harm to the coral reef environment and that	China	has violated its obligation under Articles 192 and 194 of the Convention to preserve and protect the marine environment with
192	1678440	have engaged in the harvesting of endangered sea turtles, coral, and giant clams on a substantial scale in the South	China	Sea, using methods that inflict severe damage on the coral reef environment. The Tribunal found that Chinese authorities were aware
192	1678608	them at close distances, creating serious risk of collision and danger to Philippine ships and personnel. The Tribunal concluded that	China	had breached its obligations under the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, and Article 94
192	1678723	aggravating or extending the dispute or disputes at issue during the pendency of the settlement process. The Tribunal noted that	China	has (a) built a large artificial island on Mischief Reef, a low-tide elevation located in the exclusive economic zone
192	1678775	reef ecosystem and (c) permanently destroyed evidence of the natural condition of the features in question. The Tribunal concluded that	China	had violated its obligations to refrain from aggravating or extending the Parties disputes during the pendency of the settlement process
192	1678815	process. e. Future Conduct of the Parties Finally, the Tribunal considered the Philippines request for a declaration that, going forward,	China	shall respect the rights and freedoms of the Philippines and comply with its duties under the Convention. In this respect
192	1678844	Philippines and comply with its duties under the Convention. In this respect, the Tribunal noted that both the Philippines and	China	have repeatedly accepted that the Convention and general obligations of good faith define and regulate their conduct. The Tribunal considered
192	1678885	that the root of the disputes at issue in this arbitration lies not in any intention on the part of	China	or the Philippines to infringe on the legal rights of the other, but rather in fundamentally different understandings of their
192	1678917	other, but rather in fundamentally different understandings of their respective rights under the Convention in the waters of the South	China	Sea. The Tribunal recalled that it is a fundamental principle of international law that bad faith is not presumed and

192	2325728	Republic of China. This arbitration concerned the role of historic rights and the source of maritime entitlements in the South	China	Sea, the status of certain maritime features and the maritime entitlements they are capable of generating, and the lawfulness of

192	2326157	it has jurisdiction to consider the Parties dispute concerning historic rights and the source of maritime entitlements in the South	China	Sea. On the merits, the Tribunal concluded that the Convention comprehensively allocates rights to maritime areas and that protections for
192	2326199	existing rights to resources were considered, but not adopted in the Convention. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that, to the extent	China	had historic rights to resources in the waters of the South China Sea, such rights were extinguished to the extent

192	2326334	to maritime areas and the status of features. The Tribunal first undertook an evaluation of whether certain reefs claimed by	China	are above water at high tide. Features that are above water at high tide generate an entitlement to at least
192	2326416	and relied on historical materials in evaluating the features. The Tribunal then considered whether any of the features claimed by	China	could generate maritime zones beyond 12 nautical miles. Under the Convention, islands generate an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical
192	2326637	the Spratly Islands cannot generate maritime zones collectively as a unit. Having found that none of the features claimed by	China	was capable of generating an exclusive economic zone, the Tribunal found that it couldwithout delimiting a boundarydeclare that certain sea
192	2326679	are within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, because those areas are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of	China	. Lawfulness of Chinese Actions: The Tribunal next considered the lawfulness of Chinese actions in the South China Sea. Having found

192	2326765	prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in the zone. The Tribunal also held that fishermen from the Philippines (like those from	China	) had traditional fishing rights at Scarborough Shoal and that China had interfered with these rights in restricting access. The Tribunal
192	2326775	also held that fishermen from the Philippines (like those from China) had traditional fishing rights at Scarborough Shoal and that	China	had interfered with these rights in restricting access. The Tribunal further held that Chinese law enforcement vessels had unlawfully created
192	2326842	recent large-scale land reclamation and construction of artificial islands at seven features in the Spratly Islands and found that	China	had caused severe harm to the coral reef environment and violated its obligation to preserve and protect fragile ecosystems and
192	2326899	aware that Chinese fishermen have harvested endangered sea turtles, coral, and giant clams on a substantial scale in the South	China	Sea (using methods that inflict severe damage on the coral reef environment) and had not fulfilled their obligations to stop
192	2327018	reclamation and construction of artificial islands was incompatible with the obligations on a State during dispute resolution proceedings, insofar as	China	has inflicted irreparable harm to the marine environment, built a large artificial island in the Philippines exclusive economic zone, and

192	2328776	to Philippine vessels navigating in the vicinity of Scarborough Shoal; (14) Since the commencement of this arbitration in January 2013,	China	has unlawfully aggravated and extended the dispute by, among other things: (a) interfering with the Philippines rights of navigation in

192	2329045	China and the Philippines have agreed, through bilateral instruments and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South	China	Sea, to settle their relevant disputes through negotiations. By unilaterally initiating the present arbitration, the Philippines has breached its obligation
192	2329114	an integral part of maritime delimitation between the two countries, thus falling within the scope of the declaration filed by	China	in 2006 in accordance with the Convention, which excludes, inter alia, disputes concerning maritime delimitation from compulsory arbitration and other
192	2329140	the Convention, which excludes, inter alia, disputes concerning maritime delimitation from compulsory arbitration and other compulsory dispute settlement procedures; Although	China	has not made equivalent public statements with respect to the merits of the majority of the Philippines claims, the Tribunal
192	2329313	Tribunal considered a number of preliminary matters with respect to its jurisdiction. The Tribunal noted that both the Philippines and	China	are parties to the Convention and that the Convention does not permit a State to except itself generally from the
192	2329514	the Convention. The Tribunal accepted that there is a dispute between the Parties concerning sovereignty over islands in the South	China	Sea, but held that the matters submitted to arbitration by the Philippines do not concern sovereignty. The Tribunal considered that
192	2329566	Philippines Submissions and that doing so would not advance the sovereignty claims of either Party to islands in the South	China	Sea. The Tribunal also rejected the argument set out in Chinas Position Paper that the Parties dispute is actually about
192	2329606	about maritime boundary delimitation and therefore excluded from dispute settlement by Article 298 of the Convention and a declaration that	China	made on 25 August 2006 pursuant to that Article. The Tribunal noted that a dispute concerning whether a State has
192	2329750	the Convention and other rights (including any Chinese historic rights) is a dispute concerning the Convention and (b) that where	China	has not clearly stated its position, the existence of a dispute may be inferred from the conduct of a State
192	2329815	considered whether the absence from this arbitration of other States that have made claims to the islands of the South	China	Sea would be a bar to the Tribunals jurisdiction. The Tribunal noted that the rights of other States would not
192	2329945	Tribunal noted that it had received a communication from Malaysia on 23 June 2016, recalling Malaysias claims in the South	China	Sea. The Tribunal compared its decisions on the merits of the Philippines Submissions with the rights claimed by Malaysia and
192	2329983	by Malaysia and reaffirmed its decision that Malaysia is not an indispensable party and that Malaysias interests in the South	China	Sea do not prevent the Tribunal from addressing the Philippines Submissions. d. Preconditions to Jurisdiction In its Award on Jurisdiction
192	2330066	argument set out in Chinas Position Paper that the 2002 ChinaASEAN Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South	China	Sea prevented the Philippines from initiating arbitration. The Tribunal held that the Declaration is a political agreement and not legally
192	2330147	in Southeast Asia, and the Convention on Biological Diversity, and a series of joint statements issued by the Philippines and	China	referring to the resolution of disputes through negotiations and concluded that none of these instruments constitute an agreement that would
192	2330225	the arbitration. The Tribunal concluded that this requirement was met in the record of diplomatic communications between the Philippines and	China	, in which the Philippines expressed a clear preference for multilateral negotiations involving the other States surrounding the South China Sea
192	2330244	and China, in which the Philippines expressed a clear preference for multilateral negotiations involving the other States surrounding the South	China	Sea, while China insisted that only bilateral talks could be considered. e. Exceptions and Limitations to Jurisdiction In its Award
192	2330247	which the Philippines expressed a clear preference for multilateral negotiations involving the other States surrounding the South China Sea, while	China	insisted that only bilateral talks could be considered. e. Exceptions and Limitations to Jurisdiction In its Award of 12 July
192	2330342	to claims of historic sovereignty over bays and other near-shore waters. Reviewing Chinas claims and conduct in the South	China	Sea, the Tribunal concluded that China claims historic rights to resources within the nine-dash line, but does not claim
192	2330348	bays and other near-shore waters. Reviewing Chinas claims and conduct in the South China Sea, the Tribunal concluded that	China	claims historic rights to resources within the nine-dash line, but does not claim historic title over the waters of
192	2330371	rights to resources within the nine-dash line, but does not claim historic title over the waters of the South	China	Sea. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that it had jurisdiction to consider the Philippines claims concerning historic rights and, as between
192	2330395	Tribunal concluded that it had jurisdiction to consider the Philippines claims concerning historic rights and, as between the Philippines and	China	, the nine-dash line. In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal also considered whether the Philippines Submissions were
192	2330489	Philippines exclusive economic zone. The Tribunal held that it could only address such submissions if there was no possibility that	China	could have an entitlement to an exclusive economic zone overlapping that of the Philippines and deferred a final decision on
192	2330530	its jurisdiction. In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal reviewed evidence about the reefs and islands claimed by	China	in the South China Sea and concluded that none is capable of generating an entitlement to an exclusive economic zone
192	2330534	Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal reviewed evidence about the reefs and islands claimed by China in the South	China	Sea and concluded that none is capable of generating an entitlement to an exclusive economic zone. Because China has no
192	2330552	the South China Sea and concluded that none is capable of generating an entitlement to an exclusive economic zone. Because	China	has no possible entitlement to an exclusive economic zone overlapping that of the Philippines in the Spratly Islands, the Tribunal
192	2330778	land reclamation and construction of artificial islands at seven features in the Spratly Islands constituted military activities, but noted that	China	had repeatedly emphasized the non-military nature of its actions and had stated at the highest level that it would
192	2330821	its presence in the Spratlys. The Tribunal decided that it would not deem activities to be military in nature when	China	itself had repeatedly affirmed the opposite. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that Article 298 did not pose an obstacle to its
192	2330872	Philippines Claims a. The Nine-Dash Line and Chinas Claim to Historic Rights in the Maritime Areas of the South	China	Sea In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal considered the implications of Chinas nine-dash line and whether

192	2331135	The Tribunal also examined the historical record to determine whether China actually had historic rights to resources in the South	China	Sea prior to the entry into force of the Convention. The Tribunal noted that there is evidence that Chinese navigators

192	2331243	which vessels from any State could freely navigate and fish. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that historical navigation and fishing by	China	in the waters of the South China Sea represented the exercise of high seas freedoms, rather than a historic right
192	2331250	navigate and fish. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that historical navigation and fishing by China in the waters of the South	China	Sea represented the exercise of high seas freedoms, rather than a historic right, and that there was no evidence that
192	2331271	Sea represented the exercise of high seas freedoms, rather than a historic right, and that there was no evidence that	China	had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters of the South China Sea or prevented other States from exploiting their
192	2331283	right, and that there was no evidence that China had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters of the South	China	Sea or prevented other States from exploiting their resources. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that, as between the Philippines and China

192	2331459	at high tide generate no entitlement to maritime zones. The Tribunal noted that many of the reefs in the South	China	Sea have been heavily modified by recent land reclamation and construction and recalled that the Convention classifies features on the
192	2331592	Reef and concluded that both are high tide features. The Tribunal then considered whether any of the features claimed by	China	could generate an entitlement to maritime zones beyond 12 nautical miles. Under Article 121 of the Convention, islands generate an
192	2331912	Examining the historical record, the Tribunal noted that the Spratly Islands were historically used by small groups of fishermen from	China	, as well as other States, and that several Japanese fishing and guano mining enterprises were attempted in the 1920s and
192	2332047	islands such as the Spratly Islands to generate maritime zones collectively as a unit. c. Chinese Activities in the South	China	Sea In its Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal considered the lawfulness under the Convention of various Chinese actions
192	2332071	Award of 12 July 2016, the Tribunal considered the lawfulness under the Convention of various Chinese actions in the South	China	Sea. Having found that Mischief Reef, Second Thomas Shoal and Reed Bank are submerged at high tide, form part of
192	2332111	of the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of the Philippines, and are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of	China	, the Tribunal concluded that the Convention is clear in allocating sovereign rights to the Philippines with respect to sea areas
192	2332146	Philippines with respect to sea areas in its exclusive economic zone. The Tribunal found as a matter of fact that	China	had (a) interfered with Philippine petroleum exploration at Reed Bank, (b) purported to prohibit fishing by Philippine vessels within the
192	2332215	d) constructed installations and artificial islands at Mischief Reef without the authorization of the Philippines. The Tribunal therefore concluded that	China	had violated the Philippines sovereign rights with respect to its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf. The Tribunal next examined
192	2332253	Tribunal next examined traditional fishing at Scarborough Shoal and concluded that fishermen from the Philippines, as well as fishermen from	China	and other countries, had long fished at the Shoal and had traditional fishing rights in the area. Because Scarborough Shoal
192	2332326	extinguished by the Convention. Although the Tribunal emphasized that it was not deciding sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal, it found that	China	had violated its duty to respect to the traditional fishing rights of Philippine fishermen by halting access to the Shoal

192	2374620	First, it shattered the validity of Chinas infamous nine-dash line, according to which Beijing claims 85% of the South	China	Sea. There was no evidence that China had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters or their resources, noted the
192	2374627	infamous nine-dash line, according to which Beijing claims 85% of the South China Sea. There was no evidence that	China	had historically exercised exclusive control over the waters or their resources, noted the judges, and the line was contrary to
192	2374686	given that the line first appeared (with eleven dashes) in 1947. Second, the tribunal says that key features claimed by	China	are not naturally habitable, and therefore cannot generate a 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This de-legitimises many
192	2374753	claim to natural resources discovered in the future. Third, the tribunal reprimands not just Chinas claims, but also its behaviour.	China	violated the Philippines rights by interfering with fishing and oil exploration, it created a serious risk of collision in doing
