On the morning of July 13, the Roundtable Dialogue on South China Sea Security opened in Hong Kong, releasing the “New Report on Criticism and Rejection of the Judgment of the South China Sea Arbitration Case.” Experts say the so-called “trial” is a bad example that violates international law.
The report said that in the past 10 years, the “trial” has had little impact on the practical practice of the international community and countries in the trial after the case. International judicial and arbitration institutions have avoided mentioning the “arbitration case,” and academic circles have generally been critical of the legal analysis of the case.
Speaking in a keynote speech, Qi Dahai, director general of the General Department of Legal Affairs of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that in fact, the so-called “trial” of the “South China Sea Arbitration Case” is a political maneuver disguised as a legal matter. The “arbitral tribunal” has violated its jurisdiction and misused international law, and has conducted an illegal and ineffective “trial”. China’s refusal to accept, participate in the “arbitration” and non-recognition of the “trial” is a correct measure to safeguard the integrity and prestige of international law and the “United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea”. However, a few countries, such as the United States and the Philippines, continue to promote the “trial” and other propaganda. Regarding this matter, China needs to continuously criticize and refute it to uphold equality and justice, as well as to correct international public opinion.
