中华全国律师协会就菲律宾共和国单方面提起的南海仲裁案,郑重声明如下:
一、坚定支持中国政府在南海问题上有关立场。坚定支持2014年12月7日《中华人民共和国政府关于菲律宾共和国所提南海仲裁案管辖权问题的立场文件》所阐明的有关主张。任何国家、机构和个人都无权否定中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益。
二、菲律宾无视中菲南海争议的实质是领土争议并构成海洋划界不可分割的组成部分,否定中菲双方已经选择通过双边谈判解决有关争议的共识,否定中国于2006年依据《联合国海洋法公约》作出的排除性声明,违反《南海各方行为宣言》的有关规定,滥用《公约》规定的仲裁程序,侵犯中方自行选择争端解决方式的权利,单方面提起南海仲裁案,是非法的。
三、应菲律宾单方面请求建立的仲裁庭,在不具管辖权的情况下,随意扩权滥权,在认定事实、适用法律等方面存在严重问题。仲裁庭的有关行为完全背离了《公约》的原则和宗旨,损害了《公约》的完整性和权威性,背离了国际司法正义,有违和平解决国际争端的国际法治精神与目标,没有任何公正性。
四、中国不接受、不参与、不承认菲律宾单方面提起的仲裁案,是捍卫国家主权和海洋权益、维护国际法治、维护《公约》权威性和完整性的正当之举。
All China Lawyers Association
Statement on
the
South China Sea Arbitration Case
Unilaterally
Initiated by the
Republic of the
Philippines
The
All China Lawyers Association (ACLA)
hereby
mak
es
the following solemn statement on the South China Sea arbitration case unilaterally initiated by the Republic of the Philippines:
1.
ACLA
firmly
supports
the stance
of
the Chinese Government on the South China Sea issue
, and the positions
clearly stated in the Position Paper of the Government of the People
'
s Republic of China on the Matter of Jurisdiction in the South China Sea Arbitration Initiated by the Republic of the Philippines
dated December 7, 2014.
No country, organization or individual is in a position to deny China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.
2. T
he Philippines
unilaterally initiat
ed
the South China Sea arbitration
,
disregard
ing
the fact that the
dispute
s
between China and the Philippines
in the
South China Sea
are
in essence
about territor
y and form
an integral part of maritime delimitation, den
ying
the
consensus of
the two countries
that they have chosen to
settl
e
relevant disputes through
bilateral
negotiations,
and
denying the optional exceptions declaration China made in 2006 pursuant to
the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (
UNCLOS
)
. The Philippines' conduct violates
relevant provisions of
the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea
(DOC),
abuse
s
the
UNCLOS
arbitration procedure
s, and infringes upon China’s right to choose means of dispute settlement
on its own will, and is thus illegal.
3.
The Arbitral Tribunal
established
at the unilateral request of the Philippines
, while having no jurisdiction over the arbitration case, has wantonly expanded
and exceeded
its
power,
and
made
serious
mistakes in
areas such as
verification of facts
and
application of law.
I
ts
conduct goes completely against
the
principles and
purpose
s
of
UNCLOS
,
erodes
the integrity and authority of
UNCLOS
, r
uns
counter to
international judicial justice, violates
the
spirit and goals
of
international
rule of
law
on
peaceful
settlement of
international disputes,
and is by no means impartial.
4. China’s non-acceptance and non-recognition of and non-participation in the arbitration unilaterally initiated by the Philippines is a justifiable act aimed at defending state sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, upholding international rule of law, and protecting the authority and integrity of UNCLOS.
