Extract

When the Tribunal issued its July 2016 Award in the Philippines-China arbitration, the United States announced that the decision is an important contribution to the shared goal of a peaceful resolution to disputes in the South China Sea. The United States strongly supports the rule of law and efforts to resolve disputes in the South China Sea peacefully, including through arbitration. As provided in Article 296 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the decision is “final and shall be complied with” by both parties to the dispute.
