New arbitration case vs. China

Take China to arbitration court once again, this time to make it accountable for the destruction of the environment in the west Philippine Sea.

This would make our neighbor in our western flank responsible for the “unconscionable and irremediable damage it inflicted on the environment when it embarked on the large-scale reclamation of parts of the West Philippine Sea, including areas indisputably within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.”

It also held China directly responsible, as a state and a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, for the damage to the environment. Jardeleza also proposes that to save on resources, the Office of the Solicitor General should be mandated to handle the new arbitration case, since it has lawyers who know their international law and have experience from the previous arbitration.
