Sulu claimants can take it to world court if they have proof, says AzalinaOthmanS
“Why are you not going to the ICJ? If you are questioning a territorial matter it would not be on a commercial arbitration platform,” she said at the International Arbitration Colloquium 2023 in Kuala Lumpur today. “Challenge us in the ICJ if you claim that you have entitlement, proof, mapping and documents. Challenge us that way and we will fight you until the end.
Arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa ruled that Malaysia had violated the 1878 agreements between the old Sulu kingdom in the Philippines and a representative of the British North Borneo Company that used to administer what is now Sabah. Malaysia then challenged the arbitration order in France and Spain. A French court granted a stay order on the award, pending a decision on Malaysia’s claim that the order infringed its sovereignty over Sabah.
