Abstract

The Spratly Islands dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute between China, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Brunei, concerning territorial sovereignty over the Spratly Islands. This conflicting territorial claim between these coastal parties is raising tensions in Asia, so the settlement of this dispute is of key importance for a peaceful atmosphere in the area. The dispute is also significant in respect of being an international geo-strategic, economic, political and legal matter. After a 1988 armed conflict between Vietnamese and Chinese forces, the claimants have looked for approaches to solve the conflict peacefully through different informal endeavors, but due to the complexity of the dispute there are a number of barriers to reaching a permanent settlement. This study puts forward some potential approaches for resolving the dispute, considering its complex nature, by evaluating the six parties’ competing claims and analyzing the legal soundness of their claims.
南中国海南沙群岛争端:潜在的解决方案
斯普拉特利群岛争端是中国、台湾、马来西亚、菲律宾、越南和文莱之间持续存在的领土争端,涉及斯普拉特利岛的领土主权。这些沿海各方之间相互冲突的领土主张加剧了亚洲的紧张局势,因此解决这一争端对该地区的和平气氛至关重要。就国际地缘战略、经济、政治和法律问题而言,这场争端也意义重大。1988年越南和中国军队发生武装冲突后,索赔人一直在寻找通过不同的非正式努力和平解决冲突的方法,但由于争端的复杂性,达成永久解决方案存在许多障碍。考虑到纠纷的复杂性,本研究通过评估六方的竞合索赔并分析其索赔的法律合理性,提出了解决纠纷的一些潜在方法。
