The differences among coastal and maritime user nations involving navigation and military operations represent some of the pressing issues affecting the region.

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

The sovereign rights and jurisdiction asserted by the Philippines over the maritime entitlements of the features in Bajo de Masinloc are founded on principles of international law and consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the …
