Philippines wins round 1 in historic case vs China MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – In a round one victory for the Philippines, a United Nations-backed arbitral tribunal at The Hague, Netherlands, unanimously decided it has the right to hear Manila’s historic case against Beijing. The tribunal effectively rejected China's strongest argument against the Philippines: that the tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has no right to hear the Philippines' case. In a news release late Thursday evening, October 29, the tribunal said it “has held that both the Philippines and China are parties” to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and therefore “bound by its provisions on the settlement of disputes.” http://www.rappler.com/nation/111142-philippines-china-case-tribunal-jurisdiction-award?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral Edited by gammy322, Oct 30 2015, 01:56 AM.

Breaking: UNCLOS Tribunal Rules Against China, Unanimously Finds It Has Jurisdiction Over Philippines South China Sea Claims by Julian Ku - It is worth noting that the tribunal unanimously ruled that it can proceed to the merits on seven out of 15 of the Philippines' claims, and that it reserves the question of jurisdiction on seven other claims as being so interwoven with the merits that it cannot be resolved without first considering the merits. - The Tribunal did find that the question of whether the Scarborough Shoal is a "rock" or an "island" is clearly within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, irrespective of the merits. It did so because it held that there are no overlapping sovereignty or sea boundary claims that might impact the determination. - Will China continue to claim it is not bound by the Tribunal for lack of jurisdiction, when the Tribunal has now found it has jurisdiction? China would more clearly be in violation of UNCLOS now than it was before, because UNCLOS Article 288(4) makes it clear that "In the event of a dispute as to whether a court or tribunal has jurisdiction, the matter shall be settled by decision of that court or tribunal."

Philippines scores against China in UN arbitration By Matikas Santos INQUIRER.net 12:44 AM October 30th, 2015 The Philippines scored a victory at the international Arbitral Tribunal after the panel unanimously decided Thursday that it has jurisdiction over the maritime dispute between China and the Philippines involving parts of the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea.) The decision means that the tribunal, convened under the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), will hold further hearings to settle the increasingly contentious dispute. <snipped> (...EDITED BY MODERATOR FOR LENGTH) <snipped> Edited by MSantor, Oct 31 2015, 10:09 AM.

Beijing slams tribunal decision on South China Sea row AFP 42 minutes ago China will disregard any findings by an international tribunal on a case brought by the Philippines over disputed islands in the South China Sea, Beijing said Friday after the court decided to consider the action. "We will not participate and we will not accept the arbitration. The ruling or the result of arbitration will not affect China's position. It won't affect China's sovereignty rights and jurisdiction in the South China Sea, our rights will not be undermined." - Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin As veto-wielding permanent member of the UN Security Council, the stance will put Beijing in a difficult diplomatic position if the court rules that it has violated one of the UN's own statutes.

China urges Philippines to resume talks on South China Sea spat Reuters China's Foreign Ministry on Friday urged the Philippines to return to the "correct path" of talks to resolve their dispute over the South China Sea. A court in The Hague ruled on Thursday it has jurisdiction to hear some territorial claims the Philippines has filed against China over disputed areas in the South China Sea. China has said repeatedly it will neither recognise nor participate in the case. Edited by Hong Nam, Nov 1 2015, 02:56 AM.

Hague tribunal could rule on South China Sea by mid-2016, Philippines says The Japan Times
“It has not been a good week for China” Is it merely a coincidence the US Navy conducted its freedom of navigation demo two days before the ITLOS ruling?

In December, 2014, the US Department of State released an analysis of China's maritime claims in the SCS, which Philippine counsel Paul Reichler noted as consistent with the Philippines' arguments before ITLOS. Link to another post December 5, 2014 This study represents the views of the United States Government only on the specific matters discussed therein and does not necessarily reflect an acceptance of the limits claimed.
