China’s Defiance of International Court Has Precedent—U.S. Defiance

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) wishes to draw the attention of the media and the public to the fact that the Award in the South China Sea Arbitration (The Republic of the Philippines v. The People’s Republic of China) was issued by an Arbitral Tribunal acting with the secretarial assistance of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA). The relevant information can be found on the PCA’s website (www.pca-cpa.org). The ICJ, which is a totally distinct institution, has had no involvement in the above mentioned case and, for that reason, there is no information about it on the ICJ’s website.

That's something some also wish to blur, by arguing that it was an international court that took care of the arbitration.

The PCA judges are actually "members" of the organization.

The cases brought to the PCA should at least have two sides agreeing to the proceedings. Otherwise, it is not arbitration, technically.
