Abstract
espanolLas islas Spratly, en el Mar del Sur de China, se encuentran en una zona estrategica adyacente a importantes vias maritimas y en un area posiblemente rica en recursos hidrocarburos. Seis Estados reclaman tener soberania territorial sobre las configuraciones maritimas y, por lo tanto, derechos de soberania y jurisdiccion sobre las aguas circundantes. El actor principal en la region, China, reclama la totalidad de las configuraciones en el Mar del Sur de China. Bajo este contexto intentamos dilucidar si la pretendida hegemonia China es juridicamente valida respecto de la soberania sobre las islas Spratly. Para esto se presentan los antecedentes historicos, cuyos componentes economicos, historicos, juridicos y politicos explican el estado actual de la controversia. EnglishThe Spratly Islands, located in the South China Sea, lie in a strategic zone adjacent to important commercial sea lanes and in an area possibly rich in hydrocarbon resources. Six States claim territorial sovereignty over the maritime features and therefore sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the sorrounding waters. China, the main actor in the region, claims all the features in the South China Sea. Under this context, we try to answer if the purpoted China’s hegemony is in fact legal in regard to the sovereignty over the Spratly Islands. In doing so, we introduce the historical background, whose economic, historic, legal and political elements explain the current status of the dispute.
