The arbitral tribunal ruling on the South China Sea in 2016 has generated lasting influence and is set to have greater normative authority in the future, experts say.
On July 12, 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, the Netherlands, rejected China s nine-dash line claiming 90 percent of the South China Sea, known as the East Sea in Vietnam.
Assessing the impact of the tribunal’s ruling, Cmdr. Jonathan Odom, Military Professor of International Law, Marshall Center for Security Studies, a German-American partnership in Germany, said it gives the Philippines and other countries a powerful podium to stand on.
