The philippines made a lawful and peaceful effort to resolve their maritime claims with china using the tribunal established under the law of the sea convention (unclos). the tribunal's ruling delivered a clear and legally binding decision on maritime claims in the south china sea as they relate to china and the philippines - and that ruling should be respected. we believe this decision can and should serve as an opportunity to renew efforts to address maritime claims peacefully.
