MANILA \u2013 The Peace Palace in Netherlands concluded the hearing on the territorial disputes between the Philippines and China, regarding massive claims in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday (July 14), the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands concluded the hearing on jurisdiction and admissibility of the Philippines\u2019 claims against China,\u201d Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Peace Palace held two rounds of hearings on the jurisdiction and admissibility case. The first round of oral arguments was held on July 7 and 8, where the Philippines presented its claims and sought if the arbitral tribunal had jurisdiction over the case. The second round of arguments was held soon after, where the country answered questions of the peace court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hearing concluded with the second round of arguments conducted today for the Philippines to address additional and clarificatory questions from the Tribunal,\u201d Valte said.<\/p>\n

With the hearing concluded, the Philippines now has to submit written arguments to strengthen its answers to the Peace Palace\u2019 questions. The country sought a favorable ruling from the arbitral tribunal; for China\u2019s massive claims on the contested Spratly Islands be declared invalid.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if it may just be a jurisdictional issue, every step of the way, every forward step that we take is important for us,\u201d Valte earlier said in a press briefing.<\/p>\n

Repeatedly citing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Philippines has been challenging China\u2019s claims on numerous reefs on the South China Sea.<\/p>\n

China, however, asserted that they would not participate in the legal arbitration case as they believed that \u2018what the Philippines does is an obvious political provocation under the cloak of law.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBy negating China\u2019s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea, the Philippines attempts to attain more illegal interests for itself and force China to make compromise on relevant issue,\u201d Chinese Foreign Ministry spokersperson Hua Chunying said in a press conference.<\/p>\n

Even without China\u2019s participation, the Peace Palace disclosed that it would release its resolution on the jurisdiction and admissibility case within this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arbitral tribunal now enters its deliberations and is conscious of its duty under the rules of procedure to conduct proceedings \u2018to avoid unnecessary delay and expense and to provide a fair and efficient process,\u2019\u201d the five-member arbitral tribunal said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arbitral tribunal will endeavor to issue its decision on such issues of jurisdiction and admissibility that it determines appropriate as soon as possible and expects to do so before the end of the year,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
