“Ang hindi paglahok ng China ay nagtanggal ng legal status sa arbitration proceedings sa Permanent Court of Arbitration sa kaso ng Pilipinas laban sa China tungkol sa hidwaan sa South China Sea.”
What Vera Files found
Ang sadya na hindi pakikilahok ng China sa proceedings ay hindi naging hadlang sa arbitral tribunal — na hinirang alinsunod sa UNCLOS — sa pagdinig at pagbibigay ng hatol sa kasong isinampa ng Pilipinas. Tulad ng nakasaad sa Convention, na pinagtibay ng parehong bansa, ang "kawalan" o "pagkabigo" ng isang partido na ipagtanggol ang kaso nito "ay hindi dapat maging hadlang sa[arbitration] proceedings."
