Settle South China Sea dispute under UN convention: India

[Sam.]

SOURCE : TNN

As India seeks to give teeth to its ‘Act East’ policy, the government on Wednesday asked parties involved in South China Sea (SCS) dispute to learn from the successful arbitration of India’s maritime territorial dispute with Bangladesh under United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

China’s 9-dash-line claims almost the entire SCS and Beijing continues to maintain that UNCLOS doesn’t have the mandate to deal with territorial issues.

That the Narendra Modi government is willing to take up China over the dispute has been evident from the manner in which Modi and President Barack Obama have sought to mention and highlight the issue in Indo-US bilateral documents. The two countries even issued a Joint Strategic Vision for the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean Region in January this year in which they affirmed the importance of safeguarding maritime security and ensuring freedom of navigation and overflight in the SCS.

Speaking at the 5th East Asia Summit foreign ministers’ Meeting in Kuala Lumpur, minister of state for external affairs V K Singh said territorial disputes must be settled through peaceful means “as was done by India and Bangladesh recently using the mechanisms provided under UNCLOS”. It must be mentioned here that the verdict by a UN tribunal in the case of that dispute went in favour of Bangladesh. India reacted by saying that it was committed to abiding by the outcome of the process.

Singh expressed hope that all parties to the disputes in the SCS will abide by the guidelines on the implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the region.

“We further support efforts for the early adoption of a Code of Conduct on the South China Sea on the basis of consensus,” said Singh.

Foreign ministers of several ASEAN countries have been pushing China for a Code of Conduct in the SCS to prevent an escalation of tension in the region. At least four other countries have competing claims to parts of SCS – Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.

“In a world of inter-dependence and globalization, there is no option but to follow international laws and norms. India supports freedom of navigation in international waters, including the South China Sea, the right of passage and overflight, unimpeded commerce and access to resources in accordance with principles of international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea,” said Singh.

Ok so Indian was british colony hence nine dash line is correct ?

No relationship.

Indian was british colony and Nine dash line is correct.

You know, before the India got independence, the nine dash line had issued officially.
In 1947, it's American navy warship carried Chinese officers and soldiers to receive those islands from Japan. SCS islands were occupied by Vietnam, Philippines, etc during cold war.

UNCLOS is mainly about EEZ.
UNCLOS has no function on territory disputes.

In 1947, it's American navy warship carried Chinese officers and soldiers to receive those islands from Japan, according to post WWII world rule. SCS islands were occupied by Vietnam, Philippines, etc during cold war.

Your opinion sucks. If you are right, why nobody in the world follows your logic, your opinion? You can't take parts of Unclos as you like and spare the rest as you please. Either take it or leave it.

The french invaded Vietnam. Later followed by the japanese aggression. Chinese troops occupied our territories followed by the UN mandate. Part of japanese surrender document. Do you think that justified your claim on Vietnam?
The british occupied south vietnam. I never hear they claim south vietnam. Not long ago the foreigners came to your country, raped your women and took your land. Is all justified? Can the british and the japanese claim the east coast cities of China?

Illegal occupying your islands?
How can these islands yours if they have never been in your occupation?
Can you explain to me?

So your logic is the US warships carried chinese troops to Vietnam. That justified your claim on Vietnam. The US troops were in China, too. Can Obama claim parts of China now?

In this thing, Vietnam is now a territory disputer involved. You point and mine is 100% opponent. You just point your opinions, why attack my opinions?

"Chinese troops occupied our territories folloed by the UN mandate." UN mandate is not under Chinese control, 5 member has rights of objection. The UN mandate is part of post WWII world rules by Cairo Declaration and Potsdam conference.

"Not long ag the foreigners came to your country, raped your women and took your land. Is all justified? Can the british and the japanese claim the east coasr cities of China?"
Has anything to do with claim the east coast cities? China didn't sign any treaty with them about east coast cities.
Vietnam was France colony because you guys signed treaty with France. Your emperor was drove out to Reunion island, died in 1945.

That's your logic, not mine. China in 1947 didn't have enough warship to receive those islands in SCS, so we used America navy warship to do that. The rights reception the islands is as to Cairo Declaration. You still don't understand territory is confirmed by law( bilateral treaty is also law ), not forces.

French colonial officer treat Vietnamese as animal, even tried to dig your ex-emperors' tomb to find gold; Manchurian worship all our ancestors, from Confucius, Qin first emperor to ex-dynasty imperial mausoleum.

In France colonie time, our Kingdom Nguyen Dynasty is still existed until 1945. Jerchen has ruled China like animal too. Han chinese Ming kingdom is disappeared. Han Chinese had payed tax to feed manchurian people in 8 flag army.

Confucius is ideology tool for entslaving Hanchinese.
