MANILA, Philippines — A retired Supreme Court associate justice has cited the importance of the arbitral award and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in enabling the country to harness all its rich natural resources for the “blue economy.”

 

Lawyer Francis Jardeleza quashed the nine-dash line being declared by China, saying it does not exist, in an interview during the first episode of “The Way Forward (TWF)” on CNN Philippines recently.

 

“The EEZ is the economic zone. It was agreed upon by the countries that first met to form the treaty that is now the UNCLOS. The EEZ is an invention of the UNCLOS. So they say, we give each country 200 nautical miles from the outer parts to make it simple,” Jardeleza explained.
