碩士 / 國防大學政治作戰學院 / 政治研究所 / 100 / The approval and validation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) may have resolved the regulation with Maritime Delimitation and the development of marine resources for the international community. Yet, the subject at the South China Sea still hasn’t been resolved even after the establishment of the mechanism. From the initial reef sovereignty controversy turning into a maritime delimitation conflict, the disputation had already led to a greater debate.
The main cause is that South China Sea has long been coveted by other countries for its rich natural resources and the critical sea route for military purposes. Therefore, claimants used the provision to declare the right of developing the South China Sea and made the controversy even more complex. This results in People’s Republic of China’s South China Sea claim of sovereignty being challenged and put at unfavorable position.
Today, South China Sea is an important sea route for international trade. Claimants have already occupied and constructed Spratly Islands for many years. On the other hand, PRC, along with advancing national power, is paying close attention to the South China Sea and toughening the sovereignty position of South China Sea. In short, the increasing complexity of South China Sea issue and the rise of the PRC’s national power may induce conflict at anytime, thus the regional stability will be affected.
Therefore, this article will explore through UNCLOS and summarize the characteristic and actual practice in each period of PRC, and how UNCLOS would affect on its sovereignty claim over South China Sea. Further, will also explore how PRC, under exchange influence of national interest and international regime, would cope and respond.
