EXPLAINER | Protecting the nation's marine wealth in the West Philippine Sea By: Supreme Court Justice Antonio T. Carpio March 6, 2014 7:36 PM Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal, off Zambales in Luzon: under de facto occupation by Chinese boats since the April 2012 standoff between Philippine and Chinese forces. Tweet InterAksyon.com The online news portal of TV5 Speech delivered by Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio before the Philippine Women’s Judges Association, 6 March 2014 This morning, with your kind indulgence, allow me to speak on a matter that I hope would be the advocacy of every Filipino - the protection of the marine wealth of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea. Our 1987 Constitution mandates: “The State shall protect the nation’s marine wealth in its xxx exclusive economic zone, and reserve its use and enjoyment exclusively to Filipino citizens.” This is the mandate of the Constitution that we have all solemnly sworn to uphold. To fulfill the State’s obligation to protect the nation’s marine wealth in its exclusive economic zone, the Philippines has filed an arbitration case against China in accordance with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). At stake in the arbitration before an UNCLOS Annex VII tribunal is whether the Philippines will keep or lose 80% of its exclusive economic zone and 100% of its extended continental shelf in the West Philippines Sea. http://www.interaksyon.com/article/82146/explainer---protecting-the-nations-marine-wealth-in-the-west-philippine-sea |
