The DFA protests China's fishing ban 'insofar as it includes the Philippines maritime zones'

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

In a statement, the DFA said it “protested the ban insofar as it includes the Philippines maritime zones over which the Philippines has sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction” through a diplomatic note. The DFA also cited the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea, which found that China’s imposition of a fishing ban “without exception for areas of the South China Sea falling within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines and without limiting the moratorium to Chinese flagged vessels, breached Article 56 of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea with respect to the Philippines’ sovereign rights over the living resources of its exclusive economic zone.

Tensions between the Philippines and China have heightened over the past year over issues related to the West Philippine Sea, or part of the South China Sea that includes the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
