Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This article considers the implications of the Award for freedom of navigation and the use of force in the South China Sea, identifying the conclusions that can be drawn from the Award and the questions that remain. The Award also indirectly raised the question of the use of force to defend navigational rights.

Road To Nowhere? Peace Efforts In The Southern Philippines, Peter M. Sales
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The plight of the southern Philippines is a lesson in how not to undertake a peace process.

This book grew out of three intensive workshops and a great deal of collective brainstorming. The hard work has been worthwhile.

The project as a whole bears out the value of a collective enterprise that is planned and executed carefully and with a commonality of purpose. Many of the ideas that emerge from the shared focus are illuminating.
