Duterte urges peace, stability in South China Sea under 2016 UN-backed arbitral ruling
MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday reiterated his call for Southeast Asian unity in pursuing peace and stability in the South China Sea under international law, including the 2016 arbitral award that invalidated China’s expansive claim over the disputed waters.
The President also urged countries to translate commitments into action as regards the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. Last May, Duterte sparked uproar after he compared the UN-backed arbitral ruling, which was in favor of Manila and junked Beijing's claim to about 90 percent of the South China Sea, to a piece of "paper" that could be thrown into the wastebasket.
