China responded with maximum self-restraint, appealing for negotiations and consultations, Liu noted. "We have called for disputes to be shelved and for joint development pending the ultimate solution of the issue," he added.


"However Derrick Nnadi Youth Jersey , it now appears that the Philippines sees China's self-restraint as being weak. It has therefore gone one step further," Liu said. "It not only wants Chinese islands and reefs but has also filed for arbitration to drape its illegal occupation in the cloak of law," he explained.


Yet the tribunal has no jurisdiction over the case at all, the ambassador said, stressing that the submissions made by the Philippines appear to be related only to the classification of maritime features and fishery disputes, "but are in essence inseparable from territorial sovereignty and maritime delimitation."


Liu pointed out that territorial sovereignty is not within the scope of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Breeland Speaks Youth Jersey , whose preamble states that it establishes a legal order for the seas and oceans "with due regard for the sovereignty of all States".


China made a clear declaration in 2006 in accordance with UNCLOS to exclude maritime delimitation from compulsory arbitration. More than 30 other countries, including Britain, have made similar declarations.


Despite the fact that this tribunal has no jurisdiction over either territorial sovereignty or maritime delimitation, Liu continued, "the Philippines has abused its right of action by knowingly initiating an unlawful case."


The tribunal, he noted Darwin Thompson Youth Jersey , meanwhile has abused its right of competency by knowingly accepting a case that is clearly not within its jurisdiction.


In East Asia, "the [arbitration] award will be widely regarded as the fruit of a poisonous tree, and it will fail, therefore, to garner the necessary support," the op-ed quoted Tom Zwart Khalen Saunders Youth Jersey , a law professor at Utrecht University, as warning in a recent article.


Such a view is shared by numerous international law experts around the world, Liu wrote. "China's non-participation in the arbitration process upholds international law," he stressed.


The Law of the Sea clearly provides for a bilateral approach prior to any third-party mechanism, including arbitration, he noted Juan Thornhill Youth Jersey , adding, "Yet it is clear that bilateral options between China and the Philippines have not been exhausted."


The ambassador pointed out that the tribunal's imprudent decision to start the compulsory arbitration process "suggests a lack of even minimal respect for the spirit and principles of the UNCLOS to say the least."


"Would anybody go into a football match where the rival team has conspired with the referee? " the article read. The answer is NO, it added, "The fans and audience would not accept it."


Liu said the "wirepuller" behind the arbitration is self-evident.


"For years this country from outside the region has been stepping up its rebalancing strategy in the Asia Pacific," the article read, "Its politicians have been making provocative remarks when talking about its Asia Pacific policies and the South China Sea issue Mecole Hardman Youth Jersey , and its military has invested massively in the South China Sea region and areas around it."
