South China Sea arbitration will not work in solving disputes

The so-called South China Sea arbitration will not work in solving the disputes in the region, said Mark Hoskin, a lecturer in international maritime law at China Foreign Affairs University, emphasizing that China's sovereignty and rights were backed by an absolute legal basis. The statement came against the backdrop that the Philippines has been using the so-called arbitration to escalate its provocative actions in the region recently. Many experts believe the disputes can only be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue.

00:00I don't think arbitration would necessarily work looking at the whole body of international
00:27law, and Chinese domestic law as well, that other states have accepted as factual and
00:34reasonable over the time, would be the best way to resolve this.
00:40But that would be a long-term and very difficult thing to do.
00:57I don't think arbitration would necessarily work.
