Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio has called on the Philippine government to file new arbitration cases against China over its aggressive and illegal actions in the West Philippine Sea . He made this proposal during a reception dinner aboard BRP Melchora Aquino in Manila on Friday.
He emphasized that China would likely refuse to participate in the arbitration, knowing it would lose, especially since the arbitral tribunal has already invalidated its nine-dash line claim. Wu acknowledged that such actions would expose China’s bullying nature towards smaller neighbors and further isolate it in the region.
“Let us challenge China to submit the entire Spratlys territorial dispute to arbitration by the International Court of Justice . Let’s formally challenge China,” he urged.
