（二）中國始終堅(jiān)定維護(hù)在南海的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)和海洋權(quán)益
ii. China has always been resolute in upholding its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea

23. 中國對南海諸島的主權(quán)在20世紀(jì)前未遭遇任何挑戰(zhàn)。20世紀(jì)30年代至40年代，法國和日本先后以武力非法侵占中國南沙群島部分島礁。對此，中國人民奮起抵抗，當(dāng)時(shí)中國政府采取一系列措施，捍衛(wèi)對南沙群島的主權(quán)。
23. China’s sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao had never been challenged before the 20th century. When France and Japan invaded and illegally occupied by force some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao in the 1930s and 1940s, the Chinese people rose to fight back strenuously and the Chinese government took a series of measures to defend China’s sovereignty over Nansha Qundao.

24. 1933年，法國曾經(jīng)一度侵入南沙群島部分島礁，發(fā)布政府公報(bào)宣告“占領(lǐng)”，制造了“九小島事件”。中國各地各界反應(yīng)強(qiáng)烈、群起抗議，紛紛譴責(zé)法國的侵略行徑。居住在南沙群島的中國漁民也在實(shí)地進(jìn)行抵抗，符洪光、柯家裕、鄭蘭錠等人砍倒法國在太平島、北子島、南威島、中業(yè)島等島上懸掛法國國旗的旗桿。
24. In 1933, France invaded some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao and declared “occupation” of them in an announcement published in Journal Officiel, creating the “Incident of the Nine Islets”. The French aggression triggered strong reactions and large scale protests from all walks of life across China. The Chinese fishermen living on Nansha Qundao also took on-site resistance against the French aggression. Chinese fishermen Fu Hongguang, Ke Jiayu, Zheng Landing and others cut down the posts flying French flags on Taiping Dao, Beizi Dao, Nanwei Dao, Zhongye Dao and others.

25. “九小島事件”發(fā)生后，中國外交部發(fā)言人表示，南沙群島有關(guān)島嶼“僅有我漁人居留島上，在國際上確認(rèn)為中國領(lǐng)土”，中國政府就法方侵入九小島提出嚴(yán)正交涉。同時(shí)，廣東省政府針對法國誘騙中國漁民懸掛法國國旗，命令各縣長布告，禁止在南沙群島及海域作業(yè)的中國漁船懸掛外國旗幟，并給漁民發(fā)放中國國旗，要求懸掛。
25. Shortly after this Incident happened, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs made clear through its spokesperson, referring to the relevant islands of Nansha Qundao, that “no other people but Chinese fishermen live on the islands and they are recognized internationally as Chinese territory”. The Chinese government made strong representations to the French government against its aggression. And in response to the French attempt to trick Chinese fishermen into hanging French flags, the government of Guangdong Province instructed that administrators of all counties should issue public notice forbidding all Chinese fishing vessels operating in Nansha Qundao and relevant waters from hanging foreign flags, and Chinese national flags were distributed to them to be hung on Chinese fishing vessels.

26. 由外交部、內(nèi)政部、海軍部等部門組成的水陸地圖審查委員會，專門審定中國南海諸島各島、礁、灘、沙名稱，并于1935年編印并公布了《中國南海各島嶼圖》。
26. China’s Committee for the Examination for the Land and Sea Maps, which was composed of representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of the Navy and other institutions, reviewed and approved the names of individual islands, reefs, banks and shoals of Nanhai Zhudao, compiled and published Zhong Guo Nan Hai Ge Dao Yu Tu (Map of the South China Sea Islands of China) in 1935.

27. 日本在侵華戰(zhàn)爭期間曾非法侵占中國南海諸島。中國人民對日本的侵略進(jìn)行了英勇抵抗。隨著世界反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭和中國人民抗日戰(zhàn)爭的推進(jìn)，中、美、英三國于1943年12月發(fā)表《開羅宣言》鄭重宣布，日本必須將所竊取的中國領(lǐng)土歸還中國。1945年7月，中、美、英三國發(fā)表《波茨坦公告》，其中第8條明確規(guī)定，“開羅宣言之條件必將實(shí)施”。
27. Japan invaded and illegally occupied Nanhai Zhudao during its war of aggression against China. The Chinese people fought heroically against the Japanese aggression. With the advance of the World’s Anti-Fascist War and the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China, the United States and the United Kingdom solemnly demanded in the Cairo Declaration in December 1943 that all the territories Japan had stolen from the Chinese shall be restored to China. In July 1945, China, the United States and the United Kingdom issued the Potsdam Proclamation. That Proclamation explicitly declares in Article 8: “The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.”

28. 1945年8月，日本宣布接受《波茨坦公告》無條件投降。1946年11月至12月，中國政府指派林遵上校等高級軍政官員，乘坐“永興”、“中建”、“太平”、“中業(yè)”4艘軍艦，分赴西沙群島和南沙群島，舉行儀式，重立主權(quán)碑，派兵駐守。隨后，中國政府用上述4艘軍艦名對西沙群島和南沙群島的4個(gè)島嶼進(jìn)行重新命名。
28. In August 1945, Japan announced its acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation and its unconditional surrender. In November and December 1946, the Chinese government dispatched Colonel Lin Zun and other senior military and civil officials to Xisha Qundao and Nansha Qundao to resume exercise of authority over these Islands, with commemorative ceremonies held, sovereignty markers re-erected, and troops garrisoned. These officials arrived at these islands on four warships, namely Yongxing, Zhongjian, Taiping and Zhongye. Subsequently, the Chinese government renamed four islands of Xisha Qundao and Nansha Qundao after the names of those four warships.

29. 1947年3月，中國政府在太平島設(shè)立南沙群島管理處，隸屬廣東省。中國還在太平島設(shè)立氣象臺和電臺，自6月起對外廣播氣象信息。
29. In March 1947, the Chinese government established on Taiping Dao Nansha Qundao Office of Administration and placed it under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province. China also set up a meteorological station and a radio station on Taiping Dao, which started broadcasting meteorological information in June of that year.

30. 在對南海諸島重新進(jìn)行地理測繪的基礎(chǔ)上，中國政府于1947年組織編寫了《南海諸島地理志略》，審定《南海諸島新舊名稱對照表》，繪制標(biāo)有南海斷續(xù)線的《南海諸島位置圖》。1948年2月，中國政府公布《中華民國行政區(qū)域圖》，包括《南海諸島位置圖》。
30. On the basis of a new round of geographical survey of Nanhai Zhudao, the Chinese government commissioned in 1947 the compilation of Nan Hai Zhu Dao Di Li Zhi Lüe (A Brief Account of the Geography of the South China Sea Islands), reviewed and approved Nan Hai Zhu Dao Xin Jiu Ming Cheng Dui Zhao Biao (Comparison Table on the Old and New Names of the South China Sea Islands), and drew Nan Hai Zhu Dao Wei Zhi Tu (Location Map of the South China Sea Islands) on which the dotted line is marked. In February 1948, the Chinese government officially published Zhong Hua Min Guo Xing Zheng Qu Yu Tu (Map of the Administrative Districts of the Republic of China) including Nan Hai Zhu Dao Wei Zhi Tu (Location Map of the South China Sea Islands).

31. 1949年6月，中國政府頒布《海南特區(qū)行政長官公署組織條例》，把“海南島、東沙群島、西沙群島、中沙群島、南沙群島及其他附屬島嶼”劃入海南特區(qū)。
31. In June 1949, the Chinese government promulgated Hai Nan Te Qu Xing Zheng Zhang Guan Gong Shu Zu Zhi Tiao Li (Regulations on the Organization of the Office of the Chief Executive of the Hainan Special District), which placed Hainan Dao, Dongsha Qundao, Xisha Qundao, Zhongsha Qundao, Nansha Qundao and some other islands under the jurisdiction of the Hainan Special District.

32. 中華人民共和國1949年10月1日成立后，多次重申并采取立法、行政設(shè)治、外交交涉等措施進(jìn)一步維護(hù)對南海諸島的主權(quán)和在南海的相關(guān)權(quán)益。中國對南海諸島及相關(guān)海域的巡邏執(zhí)法、資源開發(fā)和科學(xué)考察等活動從未中斷過。
32. Since its founding on 1 October 1949, the People’s Republic of China has repeatedly reiterated and further upheld its sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao and relevant rights and interests in the South China Sea by measures such as adopting legislations, establishing administration and making diplomatic representations. China has never ceased carrying out activities such as patrolling and law enforcement, resources development and scientific survey on Nanhai Zhudao and in the South China Sea.

33. 1951年8月，中國外交部長周恩來發(fā)表《關(guān)于美英對日和約草案及舊金山會議的聲明》指出，“西沙群島和南威島正如整個(gè)南沙群島及中沙群島、東沙群島一樣，向?yàn)橹袊I(lǐng)土，在日本帝國主義發(fā)動侵略戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)雖曾一度淪陷，但日本投降后已為當(dāng)時(shí)中國政府全部接收”，“中華人民共和國在南威島和西沙群島之不可侵犯的主權(quán)，不論美英對日和約草案有無規(guī)定及如何規(guī)定，均不受任何影響”。
33. In August 1951, Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai, in his Statement on the United States-British Draft Peace Treaty with Japan and the San Francisco Conference, pointed out that “as a matter of fact, just like all the Nan Sha Islands, Chung Sha Islands and Tung Sha Islands, Si Sha Islands (the Paracel Islands) and Nan Wei Island (Spratly Island) have always been China’s territory, occupied by Japan for some time during the war of aggression waged by Japanese imperialism, they were all taken over by the then Chinese Government, following Japan’s surrender”, “Whether or not the United States-British Draft Treaty contains provisions on this subject and no matter how these provisions are worded, the inviolable sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China over Nan Wei Island (Spratly Island) and Si Sha Islands (the Paracel Islands) will not be in any way affected.”

34. 1958年9月，中國發(fā)布《中華人民共和國政府關(guān)于領(lǐng)海的聲明》，明確規(guī)定中國領(lǐng)海寬度為12海里，采用直線基線方法劃定領(lǐng)?；€，上述規(guī)定適用于中華人民共和國的一切領(lǐng)土，包括“東沙群島、西沙群島、中沙群島、南沙群島以及其他屬于中國的島嶼”。
34. In September 1958, China promulgated the Declaration of the Government of the People’s Republic of China on China’s Territorial Sea, explicitly providing that the breadth of China’s territorial sea shall be twelve nautical miles, that the straight baselines method shall be employed to determine the baselines of territorial sea and that such provisions shall apply to all territories of the People’s Republic of China, including “Dongsha Qundao, Xisha Qundao, Zhongsha Qundao, Nansha Qundao and all the other islands belonging to China”.

35. 1959年3月，中國政府在西沙群島的永興島設(shè)立“西沙群島、南沙群島、中沙群島辦事處”；1969年3月，該“辦事處”改稱“廣東省西沙群島、中沙群島、南沙群島革命委員會”；1981年10月，恢復(fù)“西沙群島、南沙群島、中沙群島辦事處”的稱謂。
35. In March 1959, the Chinese government set up, on Yongxing Dao of Xisha Qundao, the Office of Xisha Qundao, Nansha Qundao and Zhongsha Qundao. In March 1969, the Office was renamed the Revolutionary Committee of Xisha Qundao, Zhongsha Qundao and Nansha Qundao of Guangdong Province.

52. It was reported by AFP that, on 4 February 1974, the then Indonesian Foreign Minister Adam Malik stated that, “si nous regardons les cartes actuelles, elles montrent que les deux archipels des Paracels [Xisha Qundao] et des Spratleys [Nansha Qundao] appartiennent à la Chine”, and that because we recognize the existence of only one China, “cela signifie que, pour nous, ces archipels appartiennent à la République populaire de Chine”.

53. 1987年3月17日至4月1日，聯(lián)合國教科文組織政府間海洋學(xué)委員會第14次會議討論了該委員會秘書處提交的《全球海平面觀測系統(tǒng)實(shí)施計(jì)劃1985－1990》（IOC/INF－663 REV）。該文件建議將西沙群島和南沙群島納入全球海平面觀測系統(tǒng)，并將這兩個(gè)群島明文列屬“中華人民共和國”。為執(zhí)行該計(jì)劃，中國政府被委任建設(shè)5個(gè)海洋觀測站，包括南沙群島和西沙群島上各1個(gè)。

For the implementation of this Plan, the Chinese government was commissioned to build five marine observation stations, including one on Nansha Qundao and one on Xisha Qundao.

54. 南海諸島屬于中國早已成為國際社會的普遍認(rèn)識。在許多國家出版的百科全書、年鑒和地圖都將南沙群島標(biāo)屬中國。例如，1960年美國威爾德麥克出版社出版的《威爾德麥克各國百科全書》；1966年日本極東書店出版的《新中國年鑒》；1957、1958和1961年在聯(lián)邦德國出版的《世界大地圖集》；1958年在民主德國出版的《地球與地理地圖集》；1968年在民主德國出版的《哈克世界大地圖集》；1954至1959年在蘇聯(lián)出版的《世界地圖集》；1957年在蘇聯(lián)出版的《外國行政區(qū)域劃分》附圖；1959年在匈牙利出版的《世界地圖集》；1974年在匈牙利出版的《插圖本世界政治經(jīng)濟(jì)地圖集》；1959年在捷克斯洛伐克出版的《袖珍世界地圖集》；1977年在羅馬尼亞出版的《世界地理圖集》；1965年法國拉魯斯出版社出版的《國際政治與經(jīng)濟(jì)地圖集》；1969年法國拉魯斯出版社出版的《拉魯斯現(xiàn)代地圖集》；1972年和1983年日本平凡社出版的《世界大百科事典》中所附地圖和1985年出版的《世界大地圖集》；以及1980年日本國土地理協(xié)會出版的《世界與各國》附圖等。
54. Nanhai Zhudao have long been widely recognized by the international community as part of China’s territory. The encyclopedias, yearbooks and maps published in many countries mark Nansha Qundao as belonging to China. For example this is done in, among others, the 1960 Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations by the Worldmark Press published in the United States, the 1966 New China Yearbook by the Far Eastern Booksellers published in Japan; the Welt-Atlas published in 1957, 1958 and 1961 in the Federal Republic of Germany, the 1958 Atlas Zur Erd-Und L?nderkunde and the 1968 Haack Gro?er Weltatlas published in the German Democratic Republic, the Atlas Mira from 1954 to 1959 and the 1957 Administrativno-territorialnoe Delenie Zarubezhnyh Stran published in the Soviet Union, the 1959 Világatlasz and the 1974 Képes Politikai és Gazdasági Világatlasz published in Hungary, the 1959 Maly Atlas Sv?ta published in Czechoslovakia, the 1977 Atlas Geografic Scolar published in Romania, the 1965 Atlas international Larousse politique et économique, the 1969 Atlas moderne Larousse published by Libraire Larousse in France, the maps in the 1972 and 1983 World Encyclopedia, the 1985 Grand Atlas World by Heibon Sha, and the 1980 Sekai to Sono Kunikuni published by Japan Geographic Data Center in Japan.

二、中菲南海有關(guān)爭議的由來
II. Origin of the Relevant Disputes Between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea

55. 中菲南海有關(guān)爭議的核心是菲律賓非法侵占中國南沙群島部分島礁而產(chǎn)生的領(lǐng)土問題。此外，隨著國際海洋法制度的發(fā)展，中菲在南海部分海域還出現(xiàn)了海洋劃界爭議。
55. The core of the relevant disputes between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea lies in the territorial issues caused by the Philippines’ invasion and illegal occupation of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao. In addition, with the development of the international law of the sea, a maritime delimitation dispute also arose between the two states regarding certain sea areas of the South China Sea.

（一）菲律賓非法侵占行為制造了中菲南沙島礁爭議
i. The Philippines’ invasion and illegal occupation caused disputes with China over some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao

56. 菲律賓的領(lǐng)土范圍是由包括1898年《美西和平條約》（《巴黎條約》）、1900年《美西關(guān)于菲律賓外圍島嶼割讓的條約》（《華盛頓條約》）、1930年《關(guān)于劃定英屬北婆羅洲與美屬菲律賓之間的邊界條約》在內(nèi)的一系列國際條約確定的。
56. The territory of the Philippines is defined by a series of international treaties, including the 1898 Treaty of Peace between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain (the Treaty of Paris), the 1900 Treaty between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain for Cession of Outlying Islands of the Philippines (the Treaty of Washington), and the 1930 Convention between His Majesty in Respect of the United Kingdom and the President of the United States regarding the Boundary between the State of North Borneo and the Philippine Archipelago.

57. 中國南海諸島在菲律賓領(lǐng)土范圍之外。
57. The Philippines’ territory so defined has nothing to do with China’s Nanhai Zhudao.

58. 20世紀(jì)50年代，菲律賓曾企圖染指中國南沙群島。但在中國堅(jiān)決反對下，菲律賓收手了。1956年5月，菲律賓人克洛馬組織私人探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)到南沙群島活動，擅自將中國南沙群島部分島礁稱為“自由地”。隨后，菲律賓副總統(tǒng)兼外長加西亞對克洛馬的活動表示支持。對此，中國外交部發(fā)言人于5月29日發(fā)表聲明，嚴(yán)正指出：南沙群島“向來是中國領(lǐng)土的一部分。中華人民共和國對這些島嶼具有無可爭辯的合法主權(quán)……絕不容許任何國家以任何借口和采取任何方式加以侵犯”。同時(shí)，中國臺灣當(dāng)局派軍艦赴南沙群島巡弋，恢復(fù)在南沙群島太平島上駐守。此后，菲律賓外交部表示，克洛馬此舉菲律賓政府事前并不知情，亦未加以同意。
58. In the 1950s, the Philippines attempted to take moves on China’s Nansha Qundao but eventually stopped because of China’s firm opposition. In May 1956, Tomás Cloma, a Filipino, organized a private expedition to some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao and unlawfully named them “Freedomland”. Afterwards, Philippine Vice President and Foreign Minister Carlos Garcia expressed support for Cloma’s activities. In response, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a stern statement on 29 May, pointing out that Nansha Qundao “has always been a part of China’s territory. The People’s Republic of China has indisputable sovereignty over these islands [...] and will never tolerate the infringement of its sovereignty by any country with any means and under any excuse.” At the same time, China’s Taiwan authorities sent troops to patrol Nansha Qundao and resumed stationing troops on Taiping Dao. Afterward, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said that the government of the Philippines did not know about Cloma’s activities or give him the consent before he took his moves.

59. 自20世紀(jì)70年代起，菲律賓先后以武力侵占中國南沙群島部分島礁，并提出非法領(lǐng)土要求。1970年8月和9月，菲律賓非法侵占馬歡島和費(fèi)信島；1971年4月，菲律賓非法侵占南鑰島和中業(yè)島；1971年7月，菲律賓非法侵占西月島和北子島；1978年3月和1980年7月，菲律賓非法侵占雙黃沙洲和司令礁。1978年6月，菲律賓總統(tǒng)馬科斯簽署第1596號總統(tǒng)令，將中國南沙群島部分島礁并連同周邊大范圍海域稱為“卡拉延島群”（“卡拉延”在他加祿語中意為“自由”），劃設(shè)“卡拉延鎮(zhèn)區(qū)”，非法列入菲律賓領(lǐng)土范圍。
59. Starting in the 1970s, the Philippines invaded and illegally occupied by force some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao and raised illegal territorial claims. The Philippines invaded and illegally occupied Mahuan Dao and Feixin Dao in August and September 1970, Nanyao Dao and Zhongye Dao in April 1971, Xiyue Dao and Beizi Dao in July 1971, Shuanghuang Shazhou in March 1978 and Siling Jiao in July 1980. In June 1978, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos signed Presidential Decree No. 1596, which designated some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao and large areas of their surrounding waters as “Kalayaan Island Group” (“Kalayaan” in Tagalog means “Freedom”), set up “Municipality of Kalayaan” and illegally included them in the Philippine territory.

60. 菲律賓還通過一系列國內(nèi)立法，提出了自己的領(lǐng)海、專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架等主張。其中部分與中國在南海的海洋權(quán)益產(chǎn)生沖突。
60. The Philippines has also enacted a series of national laws to lay its own claims of territorial sea, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, part of which conflicted with China’s maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.

61. 菲律賓為掩蓋其非法侵占中國南沙群島部分島礁的事實(shí)，實(shí)現(xiàn)其領(lǐng)土擴(kuò)張的野心，炮制了一系列借口，包括：“卡拉延島群”不屬于南沙群島，是“無主地”；南沙群島在二戰(zhàn)后是“托管地”；菲律賓占領(lǐng)南沙群島是依據(jù)“地理鄰近”和出于“國家安全”需要；“南沙群島部分島礁位于菲律賓專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架上”；菲律賓“有效控制”有關(guān)島礁已成為不能改變的“現(xiàn)狀”等。
61. The Philippines has concocted many excuses to cover up its invasion and illegal occupation of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao in order to pursue its territorial pretensions. For instance, it claims that: “Kalayaan Island Group” is not part of Nansha Qundao but terra nullius; Nansha Qundao became “trust territory” after the end of the Second World War; the Philippines has occupied Nansha Qundao because of “contiguity or proximity” and out of “national security” considerations; “some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao are located in the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of the Philippines”; the Philippines’ “effective control” over the relevant islands and reefs has become the “status quo” that cannot be changed.

（二）菲律賓的非法主張毫無歷史和法理依據(jù)
ii. The Philippines’ illegal claim has no historical or legal basis

62. 從歷史和國際法看，菲律賓對南沙群島部分島礁的領(lǐng)土主張毫無根據(jù)。
62. The Philippines’ territorial claim over part of Nansha Qundao is groundless from the perspectives of either history or international law.

63. 第一，南沙群島從來不是菲律賓領(lǐng)土的組成部分。菲律賓的領(lǐng)土范圍已由一系列國際條約所確定。對此，菲律賓當(dāng)時(shí)的統(tǒng)治者美國是非常清楚的。1933年8月12日，美屬菲律賓前參議員陸雷彝致信美國駐菲律賓總督墨菲，試圖以地理鄰近為由主張一些南沙島嶼構(gòu)成菲律賓群島一部分。有關(guān)信件被轉(zhuǎn)交美國陸軍部和國務(wù)院處理。1933年10月9日，美國國務(wù)卿復(fù)信稱，“這些島嶼……遠(yuǎn)在1898年從西班牙獲得的菲律賓群島的界限之外”。1935年5月，美國陸軍部長鄧恩致函國務(wù)卿赫爾，請求國務(wù)院就菲律賓對南沙群島部分島嶼提出領(lǐng)土要求的“合法性和適當(dāng)性”發(fā)表意見。美國國務(wù)院歷史顧問辦公室一份由博格斯等簽署的備忘錄指出，“顯然，美國毫無根據(jù)主張有關(guān)島嶼構(gòu)成菲律賓群島的一部分?！?月20日，美國國務(wù)卿赫爾復(fù)函美國陸軍部長鄧恩稱，“美國依據(jù)1898年條約從西班牙獲得的菲律賓群島的島嶼僅限于第三條規(guī)定的界限以內(nèi)”，同時(shí)關(guān)于南沙群島有關(guān)島嶼，“需要指出的是，沒有任何跡象顯示西班牙曾對這些島嶼中的任何一個(gè)行使主權(quán)或提出主張”。這些文件證明，菲律賓領(lǐng)土從來不包括南海諸島，這一事實(shí)為包括美國在內(nèi)的國際社會所承認(rèn)。
63. First, Nansha Qundao has never been part of the Philippine territory. The territorial scope of the Philippines has already been defined by a series of international treaties. The United States, administrator of the Philippines at the relevant time, was clearly aware of these facts. On 12 August 1933, ex-Senator Isabelo de los Reyes of the United States-governed Philippines wrote a letter to Governor-General Frank Murphy in an attempt to claim that some Nansha islands formed part of the Philippine Archipelago on the ground of geographical proximity. That letter was referred to the Department of War and the Department of State. On 9 October, the United States Secretary of State replied that, “These islands [...] lie at a considerable distance outside the limits of the Philippine Islands which were acquired from Spain in 1898”. In May 1935, the United States Secretary of War George Dern wrote a letter to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, seeking the views of the State Department on the “validity and propriety” of the Philippines’ territorial claims over some islands of Nansha Qundao. A memorandum of the Office of Historical Adviser in the State Department, signed by S.W. Boggs, pointed out that, “There is, of course, no basis for a claim on the part of the United States, as islands constituting part of the Philippine Archipelago”. On 20 August, Secretary Hull officially replied in writing to Secretary Dern, stating that, “the islands of the Philippine group which the United States acquired from Spain by the treaty of 1898, were only those within the limits described in Article III”, and that, referring to the relevant Nansha islands, “It may be observed that [...] no mention has been found of Spain having exercised sovereignty over, or having laid claim to, any of these islands”. All these documents prove that the Philippines’ territory never includes any part of Nanhai Zhudao, a fact that has been recognized by the international community, including the United States.

64. 第二，“卡拉延島群”是菲律賓發(fā)現(xiàn)的“無主地”，這一說法根本不成立。菲律賓以其國民于1956年所謂“發(fā)現(xiàn)”為基礎(chǔ)，將中國南沙群島部分島礁稱為“卡拉延島群”，企圖制造地理名稱和概念上的混亂，并割裂南沙群島。事實(shí)上，南沙群島的地理范圍是清楚和明確的，菲律賓所謂“卡拉延島群”就是中國南沙群島的一部分。南沙群島早已成為中國領(lǐng)土不可分割的組成部分，絕非“無主地”。
64. Second, the claim that “Kalayaan Island Group” is “terra nullius” discovered by the Philippines is groundless. The Philippines claims that its nationals “discovered” the islands in 1956, and uses this as an excuse to single out some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao and name them “Kalayaan Island Group”. This is an attempt to create confusion over geographical names and concepts, and dismember China’s Nansha Qundao. As a matter of fact, the geographical scope of Nansha Qundao is clear, and the so-called “Kalayaan Island Group” is part of China’s Nansha Qundao. Nansha Qundao has long been an integral part of China’s territory and is by no means “terra nullius”.

65. 第三，南沙群島也不是所謂的“托管地”。菲律賓稱，二戰(zhàn)后南沙群島是“托管地”，主權(quán)未定。菲律賓的說法從法律和事實(shí)看，都沒有根據(jù)。二戰(zhàn)后的“托管地”，均在有關(guān)國際條約或聯(lián)合國托管理事會相關(guān)文件中明確開列，南沙群島從未出現(xiàn)在上述名單上，根本就不是“托管地”。
65. Third, Nansha Qundao is not “trust territory” either. The Philippines claims that after the Second World War, Nansha Qundao became “trust territory”, the sovereignty over which was undetermined. This claim finds no support in law or reality. The post-War trust territories were all specifically listed in relevant international treaties or the documents of the United Nations Trusteeship Council. Nansha Qundao was never included in them and was thus not trust territory at all.

66. 第四，“地理鄰近”和“國家安全”都不是領(lǐng)土取得的國際法依據(jù)。世界上許多國家的部分領(lǐng)土遠(yuǎn)離其本土，有的甚至位于他國近岸。美國殖民統(tǒng)治菲律賓期間，就菲律賓群島附近一座島嶼的主權(quán)與荷蘭產(chǎn)生爭端，美國以“地理鄰近”為由提出的領(lǐng)土主張被判定為沒有國際法依據(jù)。以所謂“國家安全”為由侵占他國領(lǐng)土更是荒謬的。
66. Fourth, neither “contiguity or proximity” nor national security is a basis under international law for acquiring territory. Many countries have territories far away from their metropolitan areas, in some cases even very close to the shores of other countries. When exercising colonial rule over the Philippines, the United States had a dispute with the Netherlands regarding sovereignty over an island which is close to the Philippine Archipelago, and the United States’ claim on the basis of contiguity was ruled as having no foundation in international law. Furthermore, it is just absurd to invade and occupy the territory of other countries on the ground of national security.

67. 第五，菲律賓稱，中國南沙群島部分島礁位于其專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架范圍內(nèi)，因此有關(guān)島礁屬于菲律賓或構(gòu)成菲律賓大陸架組成部分。這一主張企圖以《公約》所賦予的海洋管轄權(quán)否定中國領(lǐng)土主權(quán)，與“陸地統(tǒng)治海洋”的國際法原則背道而馳，完全不符合《公約》的宗旨和目的?！豆s》序言規(guī)定：“在妥為顧及所有國家主權(quán)的情形下，為海洋建立一種法律秩序……?！币虼?，沿海國必須在尊重他國領(lǐng)土主權(quán)的前提下主張海洋管轄權(quán)，不能將自己的海洋管轄權(quán)擴(kuò)展到他國領(lǐng)土上，更不能以此否定他國主權(quán)，侵犯他國領(lǐng)土。
67. Fifth, the Philippines claims that some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao are located within its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf and therefore should fall under its sovereignty or form part of its continental shelf. This is an attempt to use maritime jurisdiction provided for under UNCLOS to deny China’s territorial sovereignty. This runs directly counter to the “l(fā)and dominates the sea” principle, and goes against the purpose of UNCLOS, as stated in its preamble, to “establish [...] with due regard for the sovereignty of all States, a legal order for the seas and ocean”. Therefore, a coastal state can only claim maritime jurisdiction under the precondition of respecting the territorial sovereignty of another state. No state can extend its maritime jurisdiction to an area under the sovereignty of another; still less can it use such jurisdiction as an excuse to deny another state’s sovereignty or even to infringe upon its territory.

68. 第六，菲律賓所謂的“有效控制”是建立在非法侵占基礎(chǔ)上的，是非法無效的。國際社會不承認(rèn)武力侵占形成的所謂“有效控制”。菲律賓所謂“有效控制”是對中國南沙群島部分島礁赤裸裸的武力侵占，違背了《聯(lián)合國憲章》（以下簡稱《憲章》）和國際關(guān)系基本準(zhǔn)則，為國際法所明確禁止。菲律賓建立在非法侵占基礎(chǔ)上的所謂“有效控制”，不能改變南沙群島是中國領(lǐng)土的基本事實(shí)。中國堅(jiān)決反對任何人試圖把南沙群島部分島礁被侵占的狀態(tài)視為所謂“既成事實(shí)”或“現(xiàn)狀”，中國對此絕不承認(rèn)。
68. Sixth, the Philippines’ so-called “effective control” on the basis of its illegal seizure is null and void. The international community does not recognize “effective control” created through occupation by force. The Philippines’ “effective control” is mere occupation by naked use of force of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao. Such occupation violates the Charter of the United Nations and the basic norms governing international relations and is unequivocally prohibited by international law. This so-called “effective control” based on illegal seizure cannot change the basic fact that Nansha Qundao is China’s territory. China firmly opposes any attempt to treat the seizure of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao as a so-called “fait accompli” or “status quo”. China will never recognize such a thing.

（三）國際海洋法制度的發(fā)展導(dǎo)致中菲出現(xiàn)海洋劃界爭議
iii. The development of the international law of the sea gave rise to the dispute between China and the Philippines over maritime delimitation

69. 隨著《公約》的制訂和生效，中國和菲律賓之間的南海有關(guān)爭議逐步激化。
69. With the formulation and entering into effect of UNCLOS, the relevant disputes between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea have gradually intensified.

70. 基于中國人民和中國政府的長期歷史實(shí)踐及歷屆中國政府的一貫立場，根據(jù)國內(nèi)法以及國際法，包括1958年《中華人民共和國政府關(guān)于領(lǐng)海的聲明》、1992年《中華人民共和國領(lǐng)海及毗連區(qū)法》、1996年《中華人民共和國全國人民代表大會常務(wù)委員會關(guān)于批準(zhǔn)<聯(lián)合國海洋法公約>的決定》、1998年《中華人民共和國專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架法》和1982年《聯(lián)合國海洋法公約》，中國南海諸島擁有內(nèi)水、領(lǐng)海、毗連區(qū)、專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架。此外，中國在南海擁有歷史性權(quán)利。
70. Based on the practice of the Chinese people and the Chinese government in the long course of history and the position consistently upheld by successive Chinese governments, and pursuant to China’s national law and under international law, including the 1958 Declaration of the Government of the People’s Republic of China on China’s Territorial Sea, the 1992 Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone, the 1996 Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China on the Ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the 1998 Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Exclusive Economic Zone and the Continental Shelf, and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, China has, based on Nanhai Zhudao, internal waters, territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf. In addition, China has historic rights in the South China Sea.

71. 根據(jù)菲律賓1949年第387號共和國法案、1961年第3046號共和國法案、1968年第5446號共和國法案、1968年第370號總統(tǒng)公告、1978年第1599號總統(tǒng)令、2009年第9522號共和國法案等法律，菲律賓公布了內(nèi)水、群島水域、領(lǐng)海，專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)和大陸架。
71. The Philippines proclaimed its internal waters, archipelagic waters, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf according to, among others, the Philippines’ Republic Act No. 387 of 1949, Republic Act No. 3046 of 1961, Republic Act No. 5446 and Presidential Proclamation No. 370 of 1968, Presidential Decree No. 1599 of 1978, and Republic Act No. 9522 of 2009.

72. 在南海，中國的陸地領(lǐng)土海岸和菲律賓的陸地領(lǐng)土海岸相向，相距不足400海里。兩國主張的海洋權(quán)益區(qū)域重疊，由此產(chǎn)生海洋劃界爭議。
72. In the South China Sea, China and the Philippines are states possessing land territory with opposite coasts, the distance between which is less than 400 nautical miles. The maritime areas claimed by the two states overlap, giving rise to a dispute over maritime delimitation.

三、中菲已就解決南海有關(guān)爭議達(dá)成共識
III. China and the Philippines Have Reached Consensus on Settling Their Relevant Disputes in the South China Sea

73. 中國堅(jiān)決捍衛(wèi)對南海諸島的主權(quán)，堅(jiān)決反對菲律賓非法侵占中國島礁，堅(jiān)決反對菲律賓依據(jù)單方面主張?jiān)谥袊茌牶Ｓ虿扇∏謾?quán)行為。同時(shí)，從維護(hù)南海和平穩(wěn)定出發(fā)，中國保持高度克制，堅(jiān)持和平解決中菲南海有關(guān)爭議，并為此作出不懈努力。中國就管控海上分歧以及推動海上務(wù)實(shí)合作等與菲律賓進(jìn)行多次磋商，雙方就通過談判解決南海有關(guān)爭議，妥善管控有關(guān)分歧達(dá)成重要共識。
73. China firmly upholds its sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao, resolutely opposes the Philippines’ invasion and illegal occupation of China’s islands and reefs, and resolutely opposes the unilateral acts taken by the Philippines on the pretext of enforcing its own claims to infringe China’s rights and interests in waters under China’s jurisdiction. Still, in the interest of sustaining peace and stability in the South China Sea, China has exercised great restraint, stayed committed to peacefully settling the disputes with the Philippines in the South China Sea, and made tireless efforts to this end. China has conducted consultations with the Philippines on managing maritime differences and promoting practical maritime cooperation, and the two sides have reached important consensus on settling through negotiation relevant disputes in the South China Sea and properly managing relevant disputes.

（一）通過談判解決南海有關(guān)爭議是中菲共識和承諾
i. It is the consensus and commitment of China and the Philippines to settle through negotiation their relevant disputes in the South China Sea

74. 中國一貫致力于在相互尊重主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉內(nèi)政、平等互利、和平共處五項(xiàng)原則基礎(chǔ)上與各國發(fā)展友好關(guān)系。
74. China has dedicated itself to fostering friendly relations with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, namely, mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.

75. 1975年6月，中菲關(guān)系實(shí)現(xiàn)正常化，兩國在有關(guān)公報(bào)中明確指出，兩國政府同意不訴諸武力，不以武力相威脅，和平解決所有爭端。
75. In June 1975, China and the Philippines normalized their relations, and in the joint communiqué for that purpose, the two governments agreed to settle all disputes by peaceful means without resorting to the threat or use of force.

76. 實(shí)際上，中國在解決南海問題上的“擱置爭議，共同開發(fā)”倡議，首先是對菲律賓提出的。1986年6月，中國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人鄧小平在會見菲律賓副總統(tǒng)薩爾瓦多·勞雷爾時(shí)，指出南沙群島屬于中國，同時(shí)針對有關(guān)分歧表示，“這個(gè)問題可以先擱置一下，先放一放。過幾年后，我們坐下來，平心靜氣地商討一個(gè)可為各方接受的方式。我們不會讓這個(gè)問題妨礙與菲律賓和其他國家的友好關(guān)系”。1988年4月，鄧小平在會見菲律賓總統(tǒng)科拉松·阿基諾時(shí)重申“對南沙群島問題，中國最有發(fā)言權(quán)。南沙歷史上就是中國領(lǐng)土，很長時(shí)間，國際上對此無異議”；“從兩國友好關(guān)系出發(fā)，這個(gè)問題可先擱置一下，采取共同開發(fā)的辦法”。此后，中國在處理南海有關(guān)爭議及同南海周邊國家發(fā)展雙邊關(guān)系問題上，一直貫徹了鄧小平關(guān)于“主權(quán)屬我，擱置爭議，共同開發(fā)”的思想。
76. In fact, China’s initiative of “pursuing joint development while shelving disputes” regarding the South China Sea issue was first addressed to the Philippines. In a June 1986 meeting with Philippine Vice President Salvador Laurel, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping pointed out that Nansha Qundao belongs to China, and when referring to the matter of differences, stated that, “This issue can be shelved for now. Several years later, we can sit down and work out a solution that is acceptable to all in a calm manner. We shall not let this issue stand in the way of our friendly relations with the Philippines and with other countries.” In April 1988, when meeting with Philippine President Corazón Aquino, Deng Xiaoping reiterated that “with regard to the issue concerning Nansha Qundao, China has the biggest say. Nansha Qundao has been part of China’s territory throughout history, and no one has ever expressed objection to this for quite some time”; and “For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, we can shelve the issue for now and pursue joint development”. Since then, when handling the relevant South China Sea issue and developing bilateral ties with other littoral countries around the South China Sea, China has all along acted in keeping with Deng Xiaoping’s idea: “sovereignty belongs to China, disputes can be shelved, and we can pursue joint development”.

77. 20世紀(jì)80年代以來，中國就通過談判管控和解決中菲南海有關(guān)爭議提出一系列主張和倡議，多次重申對南沙群島的主權(quán)、和平解決南海有關(guān)爭議的立場和“擱置爭議，共同開發(fā)”的倡議，明確表示反對外部勢力介入，反對南海問題國際化，強(qiáng)調(diào)不應(yīng)使?fàn)幾h影響兩國關(guān)系的發(fā)展。
77. Since the 1980s, China has put forward a series of proposals and initiatives for managing and settling through negotiation disputes with the Philippines in the South China Sea and reiterated repeatedly its sovereignty over Nansha Qundao, its position on peacefully settling the relevant disputes and its initiative of “pursuing joint development while shelving disputes”. China has expressed its clear opposition to intervention by outside forces and attempts to multilateralize the South China Sea issue and emphasized that the relevant disputes should not affect bilateral relations.

78. 1992年7月，在馬尼拉舉行的第25屆東盟外長會議發(fā)表《東盟關(guān)于南海問題的宣言》。中國表示，贊賞這一宣言所闡述的相關(guān)原則。中國一貫主張通過談判和平解決南沙群島部分島礁有關(guān)領(lǐng)土問題，反對訴諸武力，愿在條件成熟時(shí)同有關(guān)國家談判“擱置爭議，共同開發(fā)”。
78. In July 1992, the 25th ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting held in Manila adopted the ASEAN Declaration on the South China Sea. China expressed appreciation for relevant principles outlined in that Declaration. China stated that it has all along stood for peacefully settling through negotiation the territorial issues relating to part of Nansha Qundao and opposed the use of force, and is ready to enter into negotiation with countries concerned on implementing the principle of “pursuing joint development while shelving disputes” when conditions are ripe.

79. 1995年8月，中菲共同發(fā)表的《中華人民共和國和菲律賓共和國關(guān)于南海問題和其他領(lǐng)域合作的磋商聯(lián)合聲明》表示，“爭議應(yīng)由直接有關(guān)國家解決”；“雙方承諾循序漸進(jìn)地進(jìn)行合作，最終談判解決雙方爭議”。此后，中國和菲律賓通過一系列雙邊文件確認(rèn)通過雙邊談判協(xié)商解決南海問題的有關(guān)共識，例如：1999年3月《中菲建立信任措施工作小組會議聯(lián)合公報(bào)》、2000年5月《中華人民共和國政府和菲律賓共和國政府關(guān)于21世紀(jì)雙邊合作框架的聯(lián)合聲明》等。
79. In August 1995, China and the Philippines issued the Joint Statement between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of the Philippines concerning Consultations on the South China Sea and on Other Areas of Cooperation in which they agreed that “[d]isputes shall be settled by the countries directly concerned” and that “a gradual and progressive process of cooperation shall be adopted with a view to eventually negotiating a settlement of the bilateral disputes.” Subsequently, China and the Philippines reaffirmed their consensus on settling the South China Sea issue through bilateral negotiation and consultation in a number of bilateral documents, such as the March 1999 Joint Statement of the China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures and the May 2000 Joint Statement between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines on the Framework of Bilateral Cooperation in the Twenty-First Century.

80. 2002年11月，中國同東盟10國共同簽署《宣言》。各方在《宣言》中鄭重承諾：“根據(jù)公認(rèn)的國際法原則，包括1982年《聯(lián)合國海洋法公約》，由直接有關(guān)的主權(quán)國家通過友好磋商和談判，以和平方式解決它們的領(lǐng)土和管轄權(quán)爭議，而不訴諸武力或以武力相威脅。”
80. In November 2002, China and the ten ASEAN Member States signed the DOC in which the parties solemnly “undertake to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, without resorting to the threat or use of force, through friendly consultations and negotiations by sovereign states directly concerned, in accordance with universally recognized principles of international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea”.

81. 此后，中菲通過一系列雙邊文件確認(rèn)各自在《宣言》中作出的鄭重承諾，例如：2004年9月《中華人民共和國政府和菲律賓共和國政府聯(lián)合新聞公報(bào)》、2011年9月《中華人民共和國和菲律賓共和國聯(lián)合聲明》等。
81. Afterwards, China and the Philippines reaffirmed this solemn commitment they had made in the DOC in a number of bilateral documents, such as the September 2004 Joint Press Statement between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the September 2011 Joint Statement between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of the Philippines.

82. 上述中菲兩國各項(xiàng)雙邊文件以及《宣言》的相關(guān)規(guī)定，體現(xiàn)了中菲就解決南海有關(guān)爭議達(dá)成的以下共識和承諾：一是有關(guān)爭議應(yīng)在直接有關(guān)的主權(quán)國家之間解決；二是有關(guān)爭議應(yīng)在平等和相互尊重基礎(chǔ)上，通過談判協(xié)商和平解決；三是直接有關(guān)的主權(quán)國家根據(jù)公認(rèn)的國際法原則，包括1982年《聯(lián)合國海洋法公約》，“最終談判解決雙方爭議”。
82. The relevant provisions in all the aforementioned bilateral instruments and the DOC embody the following consensus and commitment between China and the Philippines on settling the relevant disputes in the South China Sea: first, the relevant disputes shall be settled between sovereign states directly concerned; second, the relevant disputes shall be peacefully settled through negotiation and consultation on the basis of equality and mutual respect; and third, sovereign states directly concerned shall “eventually negotiat[e] a settlement of the bilateral disputes” in accordance with universally recognized principles of international law, including the 1982 UNCLOS.

83. 中菲雙方多次重申通過談判解決有關(guān)爭議，并多次強(qiáng)調(diào)有關(guān)談判應(yīng)由直接有關(guān)的主權(quán)國家開展，上述規(guī)定顯然已產(chǎn)生排除任何第三方爭端解決方式的效果。特別是1995年的聯(lián)合聲明規(guī)定“最終談判解決雙方爭議”，這里的“最終”一詞明顯是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)“談判”是雙方已選擇的唯一爭端解決方式，并排除包括第三方爭端解決程序在內(nèi)的任何其他方式。上述共識和承諾構(gòu)成兩國間排除通過第三方爭端解決方式解決中菲南海有關(guān)爭議的協(xié)議。這一協(xié)議必須遵守。
83. By repeatedly reaffirming negotiations as the means for settling relevant disputes, and by repeatedly emphasizing that negotiations be conducted by sovereign states directly concerned, the above-mentioned provisions obviously have produced the effect of excluding any means of third party settlement. In particular, the 1995 Joint Statement provides for “eventually negotiating a settlement of the bilateral disputes”. The term “eventually” in this context clearly serves to emphasize that “negotiations” is the only means the parties have chosen for dispute settlement, to the exclusion of any other means including third party settlement procedures. The above consensus and commitment constitutes an agreement between the two states excluding third-party dispute settlement as a way to settle relevant disputes in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines. This agreement must be observed.

（二）妥善管控南海有關(guān)爭議是中菲之間的共識
ii. It is the consensus of China and the Philippines to properly manage relevant disputes in the South China Sea

84. 中國一貫主張，各方應(yīng)通過制定規(guī)則、完善機(jī)制、務(wù)實(shí)合作、共同開發(fā)等方式管控爭議，為南海有關(guān)爭議的最終解決創(chuàng)造良好氛圍。
84. It is China’s consistent position that, the relevant parties should establish and improve rules and mechanisms, and pursue practical cooperation and joint development, so as to manage disputes in the South China Sea, and to foster a good atmosphere for their final resolution.

85. 自20世紀(jì)90年代以來，中菲就管控爭議達(dá)成一系列共識：一是在有關(guān)爭議問題上保持克制，不采取可能導(dǎo)致事態(tài)擴(kuò)大化的行動；二是堅(jiān)持通過雙邊磋商機(jī)制管控爭議；三是堅(jiān)持推動海上務(wù)實(shí)合作和共同開發(fā)；四是不使有關(guān)爭議影響雙邊關(guān)系的健康發(fā)展和南海地區(qū)的和平與穩(wěn)定。
85. Since the 1990s, China and the Philippines have reached the following consensus on managing their disputes: first, they will exercise restraint in handling relevant disputes and refrain from taking actions that may lead to an escalation; second, they will stay committed to managing disputes through bilateral consultation mechanisms; third, they commit themselves to pursuing practical maritime cooperation and joint development; and fourth, the relevant disputes should not affect the healthy growth of bilateral relations and peace and stability in the South China Sea region.

86. 中菲還在《宣言》中達(dá)成如下共識：保持自我克制，不采取使?fàn)幾h復(fù)雜化、擴(kuò)大化和影響和平與穩(wěn)定的行動；在和平解決領(lǐng)土和管轄權(quán)爭議前，本著合作與諒解的精神，努力尋求各種途徑建立互信；探討或開展在海洋環(huán)保、海洋科學(xué)研究、海上航行和交通安全、搜尋與救助、打擊跨國犯罪等方面的合作。
86. In the DOC, China and the Philippines also reached the following consensus: to exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability; to intensify efforts, pending the peaceful settlement of territorial and jurisdictional disputes, to seek ways, in the spirit of cooperation and understanding, to build trust and confidence; and to explore or undertake cooperative activities including marine environmental protection, marine scientific research, safety of navigation and communication at sea, search and rescue operation and combating transnational crime.

87. 中菲曾就管控分歧、開展海上務(wù)實(shí)合作取得積極進(jìn)展。
87. China and the Philippines have made some progress in managing their differences and conducting practical maritime cooperation.

88. 1999年3月，中國和菲律賓舉行關(guān)于在南海建立信任措施工作小組首次會議，雙方發(fā)表的《中菲建立信任措施工作小組會議聯(lián)合公報(bào)》指出，“雙方承諾根據(jù)廣泛接受的國際法原則包括聯(lián)合國海洋法公約，通過協(xié)商和平解決爭議，……雙方同意保持克制，不采取可能導(dǎo)致事態(tài)擴(kuò)大化的行動?！?br/> 88. During the first China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures held in March 1999, the two sides issued a joint statement, pointing out that, “the two sides agreed that the dispute should be peacefully settled through consultation in accordance with the generally-accepted principles of international law including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, [... and to] exercise self-restraint and not to take actions that might escalate the situation.”

89. 2001年4月，中菲發(fā)表的《第三次建立信任措施專家組會議聯(lián)合新聞聲明》指出，“雙方認(rèn)識到兩國就探討南海合作方式所建立的雙邊磋商機(jī)制是富有成效的，雙方所達(dá)成的一系列諒解與共識對維護(hù)中菲關(guān)系的健康發(fā)展和南海地區(qū)的和平與穩(wěn)定發(fā)揮了建設(shè)性作用?！?br/> 89. In the Joint Press Statement of the Third China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures released in April 2001, it is stated that, “the two sides noted that the bilateral consultation mechanism to explore ways of cooperation in the South China Sea has been effective. The series of understanding and consensus reached by the two sides have played a constructive role in the maintenance of the sound development of China-Philippines relations and peace and stability of the South China Sea area.”

90. 2004年9月，在中國和菲律賓領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的共同見證下，中國海洋石油總公司和菲律賓國家石油公司簽署《南中國海部分海域聯(lián)合海洋地震工作協(xié)議》。經(jīng)中菲雙方同意，2005年3月，中國、菲律賓、越南三國國家石油公司簽署《南中國海協(xié)議區(qū)三方聯(lián)合海洋地震工作協(xié)議》，商定三國的石油公司在三年協(xié)議期內(nèi)，在約14.3萬平方千米海域的協(xié)議區(qū)內(nèi)完成一定數(shù)量的二維和/或三維地震測線的采集和處理工作，對一定數(shù)量現(xiàn)有的二維地震測線進(jìn)行再處理，研究評估協(xié)議區(qū)的石油資源狀況。2007年《中華人民共和國和菲律賓共和國聯(lián)合聲明》表示，“雙方認(rèn)為，南海三方聯(lián)合海洋地震工作可以成為本地區(qū)合作的一個(gè)示范。雙方同意，可以探討將下一階段的三方合作提升到更高水平，以加強(qiáng)本地區(qū)建立互信的良好勢頭。”
90. In September 2004, in the presence of the leaders of China and the Philippines, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) signed the Agreement for Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking in Certain Areas in the South China Sea. In March 2005, national oil companies from China, the Philippines and Vietnam signed, with the consent of both China and the Philippines, the Tripartite Agreement for Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking in the Agreement Area in the South China Sea. It was agreed that during an agreement term of three year-period, these oil companies should collect and process certain amount of 2D and/or 3D seismic lines in the agreement area covering about 143,000 square kilometers, re-process certain amount of existing 2D seismic lines, and study and assess the oil resources in the area. The 2007 Joint Statement of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of the Philippines states that, “both sides agree that the tripartite joint marine seismic undertaking in the South China Sea serves as a model for cooperation in the region. They agreed that possible next steps for cooperation among the three parties should be explored to bring collaboration to a higher level and increase the momentum of trust and confidence in the region.”

91. 令人遺憾的是，由于菲律賓方面缺乏合作意愿，中菲信任措施工作小組會議陷于停滯，中菲越三方聯(lián)合海洋地震考察工作也未能繼續(xù)。
91. Regrettably, due to the lack of willingness for cooperation from the Philippine side, the China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures has stalled, and the China-Philippines-Vietnam tripartite marine seismic undertaking has failed to move forward.

四、菲律賓一再采取導(dǎo)致爭議復(fù)雜化的行動
IV. The Philippines Has Repeatedly Taken Moves that Complicate the Relevant Disputes

92. 自20世紀(jì)80年代以來，菲律賓一再采取導(dǎo)致爭議復(fù)雜化的行動。
92. Since the 1980s, the Philippines has repeatedly taken moves that complicate the relevant disputes.

（一）菲律賓企圖擴(kuò)大對中國南沙群島部分島礁的侵占
i. The Philippines attempts to entrench its illegal occupation of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao

93. 自20世紀(jì)80年代起，菲律賓就在非法侵占的中國南沙群島有關(guān)島礁上建設(shè)軍事設(shè)施。90年代，菲律賓繼續(xù)在非法侵占的中國南沙群島有關(guān)島礁修建機(jī)場和海空軍基地，以非法侵占的中國南沙群島中業(yè)島為重點(diǎn)，持續(xù)在相關(guān)島礁建設(shè)和修整機(jī)場、兵營、碼頭等設(shè)施，以方便起降重型運(yùn)輸機(jī)、戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)及容納更多更大的艦船。菲律賓還蓄意挑釁，頻繁派出軍艦、飛機(jī)侵入中國南沙群島五方礁、仙娥礁、信義礁、半月礁和仁愛礁，肆意破壞中國設(shè)置的測量標(biāo)志。
93. In China’s Nansha Qundao, the Philippines started in the 1980s to build military facilities on some islands and reefs it has invaded and illegally occupied. In the 1990s, the Philippines continued to build airfields and naval and air force facilities on these illegally-occupied islands and reefs; centered on Zhongye Dao, the construction has extended to other islands and reefs, with runways, military barracks, docks and other facilities built and renovated, so as to accommodate heavy transport planes, fighter jets and more and larger vessels. Furthermore, the Philippines made deliberate provocations by frequently sending its military vessels and aircraft to intrude into Wufang Jiao, Xian’e Jiao, Xinyi Jiao, Banyue Jiao and Ren’ai Jiao of China’s Nansha Qundao, and destroyed survey markers set up by China.

94. 更有甚者，1999年5月9日，菲律賓派出57號坦克登陸艦入侵中國仁愛礁，并以“技術(shù)故障擱淺”為借口，在該礁非法“坐灘”。中國當(dāng)即對菲律賓提出嚴(yán)正交涉，要求立即拖走該艦。而菲律賓卻稱該艦“缺少零部件”無法拖走。
94. Still worse, on 9 May 1999, the Philippines sent BRP Sierra Madre (LT-57), a military vessel, to intrude into China’s Ren’ai Jiao and illegally ran it aground on the pretext of “technical difficulties”. China immediately made solemn representations to the Philippines, demanding the immediate removal of that vessel. But the Philippines claimed that the vessel could not be towed away for “l(fā)ack of parts”.

95. 就此，中國持續(xù)對菲律賓進(jìn)行交涉，再三要求菲方拖走該艦。例如，1999年11月，中國駐菲律賓大使約見菲律賓外長西亞松和總統(tǒng)辦公室主任來妮海索斯，再次就該艦非法“坐灘”仁愛礁事進(jìn)行交涉。菲律賓雖然再三承諾將把該艦從仁愛礁撤走，但一直拖延不動。
95. Over this matter, China has repeatedly made representations to the Philippines and renewed the same demand. For instance, in November 1999, the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines met with Secretary of Foreign Affairs Domingo Siazon and Chief of the Presidential Management Staff Leonora de Jesus to make another round of representations. Many times the Philippines promised to tow away the vessel, but it has taken no action.

96. 2003年9月，得知菲律賓準(zhǔn)備在仁愛礁非法“坐灘”的軍艦周圍修建設(shè)施后，中國當(dāng)即提出嚴(yán)正交涉。菲律賓代理外長埃卜達(dá)林表示，菲律賓無意在仁愛礁上修建設(shè)施，菲律賓是《宣言》的簽署者，不會也不愿成為第一個(gè)違反者。
96. In September 2003, upon the news that the Philippines was preparing to build facilities around that military vessel illegally run aground at Ren’ai Jiao, China lodged immediate representations. The Philippine Acting Secretary of Foreign Affairs Franklin Ebdalin responded that the Philippines had no intention to construct facilities on Ren’ai Jiao and that, as a signatory to the DOC, the Philippines had no desire to and would not be the first to violate the Declaration.

97. 但是菲律賓拒不履行拖走該艦的承諾，反而變本加厲，采取進(jìn)一步挑釁行為。菲律賓于2013年2月在非法“坐灘”的該艦四周拉起固定纜繩，艦上人員頻繁活動，準(zhǔn)備建設(shè)固定設(shè)施。在中國多次交涉下，菲律賓國防部長加斯明聲稱，菲律賓只是在對該艦進(jìn)行補(bǔ)給和修補(bǔ)，承諾不會在仁愛礁上修建設(shè)施。
97. But the Philippines did not fulfill its undertaking to tow away that vessel. Instead, it made even worse provocations. In February 2013, cables were lined up around that grounded vessel and people on board bustled around, making preparations for the construction of permanent facilities. In response to China’s repeated representations, the Philippine Secretary of National Defense Voltaire Gazmin claimed that the Philippines was simply resupplying and repairing the vessel, and promised that no facilities would be built on Ren’ai Jiao.

98. 2014年3月14日，菲律賓外交部發(fā)表聲明，公然宣稱菲律賓當(dāng)年用57號坦克登陸艦在仁愛礁“坐灘”，就是為了“將該軍艦作為菲律賓政府的永久設(shè)施部署在仁愛礁”，企圖以此為借口，繼續(xù)拒不履行拖走該艦的承諾，進(jìn)而達(dá)到侵占仁愛礁的目的。中國當(dāng)即對此表示震驚，并重申絕不允許菲方以任何形式侵占仁愛礁。
98. On 14 March 2014, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs issued a statement openly declaring that the vessel it ran aground at Ren’ai Jiao was placed there as a permanent Philippine government installation. This was an apparent attempt to provide an excuse for its continued refusal to fulfill its undertaking to tow away that vessel in order to illegally seize Ren’ai Jiao. China immediately responded that it was shocked by this statement and reiterated that it would never allow the Philippines to seize Ren’ai Jiao by any means.

99. 2015年7月，菲律賓公開聲明，菲方正對在仁愛礁“坐灘”的軍艦進(jìn)行內(nèi)部整固。
99. In July 2015, the Philippines stated publicly that the so-called maintenance repair was being done to fortify the vessel.

100. 菲律賓用軍艦“坐灘”仁愛礁，承諾拖走卻始終食言，直至采取加固措施，以自己的實(shí)際行動證明菲律賓就是第一個(gè)公然違反《宣言》的國家。
100. To sum up, by running aground its military vessel at Ren’ai Jiao, then promising repeatedly to tow it away but breaking that promise repeatedly and even fortifying it, the Philippines has proven itself to be the first to openly violate the DOC.

101. 長期以來，菲律賓非法侵占中國南沙群島有關(guān)島礁，并在島礁上修筑各種軍事設(shè)施，企圖制造既成事實(shí)，長期霸占。菲律賓的所作所為，嚴(yán)重侵犯中國對南沙群島有關(guān)島礁的主權(quán)，嚴(yán)重違反《憲章》和國際法基本準(zhǔn)則。
101. Over the years, the Philippines has invaded and illegally occupied some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Qundao and constructed various military facilities thereupon in an attempt to establish a fait accompli of permanent occupation. These moves have grossly violated China’s sovereignty over the relevant islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao and violated the Charter of the United Nations and basic norms of international law.

（二）菲律賓一再擴(kuò)大海上侵權(quán)
ii. The Philippines has increasingly intensified its infringement of China’s maritime rights and interests

102. 自20世紀(jì)70年代起，菲律賓依據(jù)其單方面主張，先后侵入中國南沙群島禮樂灘、忠孝灘等地進(jìn)行非法油氣鉆探，包括就有關(guān)區(qū)塊進(jìn)行對外招標(biāo)。
102. Since the 1970s, the Philippines, asserting its unilateral claims, has intruded into, among others, the maritime areas of Liyue Tan and Zhongxiao Tan of China’s Nansha Qundao to carry out illegal oil and gas exploratory drilling, including listing the relevant blocks for bidding.

103. 進(jìn)入21世紀(jì)以來，菲律賓擴(kuò)大對外招標(biāo)范圍，大面積侵入中國南沙群島有關(guān)海域。2003年，菲律賓將大片中國南沙群島相關(guān)海域劃為對外招標(biāo)區(qū)塊。2014年5月，菲律賓進(jìn)行了第5輪油氣招標(biāo)，其中4個(gè)招標(biāo)區(qū)塊侵入中國南沙群島相關(guān)海域。
103. Since 2000, the Philippines has expanded the areas for bidding, intruding into larger sea areas of China’s Nansha Qundao. A large span of sea areas of China’s Nansha Qundao was designated as bidding blocks by the Philippines in 2003. During the fifth “Philippine Energy Contracting Round” launched in May 2014, four of the bidding blocks on offer reached into relevant sea areas of China’s Nansha Qundao.

104. 菲律賓還不斷侵入中國南沙群島有關(guān)海域，襲擾中國漁民和漁船正常生產(chǎn)作業(yè)。據(jù)不完全統(tǒng)計(jì)，1989年至2015年，在上述海域共發(fā)生菲律賓非法侵犯中國漁民生命和財(cái)產(chǎn)安全事件97件，其中槍擊8件，搶劫34件，抓扣40件，追趕15件；共涉及中國漁船近200艘，漁民上千人。菲律賓還野蠻、粗暴對待中國漁民，施以非人道待遇。
104. The Philippines has repeatedly intruded into relevant waters of China’s Nansha Qundao, harassing and attacking Chinese fishermen and fishing boats conducting routine fishing operations. Currently available statistics show that from 1989 to 2015, 97 incidents occurred in which the Philippines infringed upon the safety, life and property of Chinese fishermen: 8 involving shooting, 34 assault and robbery, 40 capture and detention, and 15 chasing. These incidents brought adverse consequences to close to 200 Chinese fishing vessels and over 1,000 Chinese fishermen. In addition, the Philippines treated Chinese fishermen in a violent, cruel and inhumane manner.

105. 菲律賓武裝人員經(jīng)常無視中國漁民的生命安全，濫用武力。例如，2006年4月27日，菲律賓武裝漁船侵入中國南沙群島南方淺灘海域，襲擊中國“瓊瓊海03012”號漁船，菲方一艘武裝小艇及4名持槍人員向中國漁船靠近，并直接向漁船駕駛臺連續(xù)開槍射擊，造成陳奕超等4名漁民當(dāng)場死亡、2人重傷、1人輕傷。隨后，13名持槍人員強(qiáng)行登上漁船進(jìn)行搶劫，劫走船上衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航、通訊設(shè)備、生產(chǎn)工具、漁獲等。
105. Philippine armed personnel often use excessive force against Chinese fishermen in utter disregard of the safety of their lives. For example, on 27 April 2006, one armed Philippine fishing vessel intruded into Nanfang Qiantan of China’s Nansha Qundao and attacked Chinese fishing boat Qiongqionghai 03012. One Philippine armed motor boat carrying four gunmen approached that Chinese fishing boat. Immediately these gunmen fired several rounds of bullets at the driving panel, killing Chen Yichao and three other Chinese fishermen on the spot, severely wounding two others and causing minor injuries to another. Subsequently a total of 13 gunmen forced their way onboard the Chinese fishing boat and seized satellite navigation and communication equipment, fishing equipment and harvests and other items.

106. 菲律賓一再采取各種海上侵權(quán)行動，企圖擴(kuò)大其在南海的非法主張，嚴(yán)重侵犯中國在南海的主權(quán)及相關(guān)權(quán)益。菲律賓的侵權(quán)行為嚴(yán)重違背了其在《宣言》中關(guān)于保持自我克制，不采取使?fàn)幾h復(fù)雜化、擴(kuò)大化行動的承諾。菲律賓槍擊、搶劫中國漁船和漁民，非法抓扣中國漁民并施以非人道待遇，嚴(yán)重侵犯中國漁民的人身和財(cái)產(chǎn)安全以及人格尊嚴(yán)，公然踐踏基本人權(quán)。
106. The Philippines has repeatedly infringed China’s maritime rights and interests in an attempt to expand and entrench its illegal claims in the South China Sea. These actions have grossly violated China’s sovereignty and rights and interests in the South China Sea. By doing so, the Philippines has seriously violated its own commitment made under the DOC to exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes. By firing upon Chinese fishing boats and fishermen, illegally seizing and detaining Chinese fishermen, giving them inhumane treatment and robbing them of their property, the Philippines has gravely infringed upon the personal and property safety and the dignity of Chinese fishermen and blatantly trampled on their basic human rights.

（三）菲律賓企圖染指中國黃巖島
iii. The Philippines also has territorial pretensions on China’s Huangyan Dao

107. 菲律賓還對中國黃巖島提出領(lǐng)土要求并企圖非法侵占。
107. The Philippines also has territorial pretensions on China’s Huangyan Dao and attempted to occupy it illegally.

108. 黃巖島是中國固有領(lǐng)土，中國持續(xù)、和平、有效地對黃巖島行使著主權(quán)和管轄。
108. Huangyan Dao is China’s inherent territory, over which China has continuously, peacefully and effectively exercised sovereignty and jurisdiction.

109. 1997年之前，菲律賓從未對黃巖島屬于中國提出異議，從未對黃巖島提出領(lǐng)土要求。1990年2月5日，菲律賓駐德國大使比安弗尼多致函德國無線電愛好者迪特表示：“根據(jù)菲律賓國家地圖和資源信息局，斯卡伯勒礁或黃巖島不在菲律賓領(lǐng)土主權(quán)范圍以內(nèi)。”
109. Before 1997, the Philippines had never challenged China’s sovereignty over Huangyan Dao, nor had it laid any territorial claim to it. On 5 February 1990, Philippine Ambassador to Germany Bienvenido A. Tan, Jr. stated in a letter to German HAM radio amateur Dieter L?ffler that, “According to the Philippine National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, the Scarborough Reef or Huangyan Dao does not fall within the territorial sovereignty of the Philippines.”

110. 菲律賓國家地圖和資源信息局1994年10月28日簽發(fā)的《菲律賓共和國領(lǐng)土邊界證明書》表示，“菲律賓共和國的領(lǐng)土邊界和主權(quán)由1898年12月10日簽署的《巴黎條約》第3條確定”，并確認(rèn)“菲律賓環(huán)境和自然資源部通過國家地圖和資源信息局發(fā)布的第25號官方地圖中顯示的領(lǐng)土界限完全正確并體現(xiàn)了真實(shí)狀態(tài)”。如前所述，《巴黎條約》和另外兩個(gè)條約確定了菲律賓的領(lǐng)土界限，中國黃巖島明顯位于這一界限以外。第25號官方地圖反映了這一事實(shí)。在1994年11月18日致美國無線電協(xié)會的信中，菲律賓無線電愛好者協(xié)會寫道，“一個(gè)非常重要的事實(shí)是，（菲律賓）有關(guān)政府機(jī)構(gòu)申明，基于1898年12月10日簽署的《巴黎條約》第3條，斯卡伯勒礁就是位于菲律賓領(lǐng)土邊界之外?！?br/> 110. A “Certification of Territorial Boundary of the Republic of the Philippines”, issued by the Philippine National Mapping and Resource Information Authority on 28 October 1994, stated that “the territorial boundaries and sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines are established in Article III of the Treaty of Paris signed on December 10, 1898”, and confirmed that the “Territorial Limits shown in the official Map No. 25 issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, are fully correct and show the actual status”. As described above, the Treaty of Paris and other two treaties define the territorial limits of the Philippines, and China’s Huangyan Dao clearly lies outside those limits. Philippine Official Map No. 25 reflects this. In a letter dated 18 November 1994 to the American Radio Relay League, Inc., the Philippine Amateur Radio Association, Inc. wrote that, “one very important fact remains, the national agency concerned had stated that based on Article III of the Treaty of Paris signed on December 10, 1898, Scarborough Reef lies just outside the territorial boundaries of the Philippines”.

111. 1997年4月，菲律賓一改其領(lǐng)土范圍不包括黃巖島的立場，對中國無線電運(yùn)動協(xié)會組織的國際聯(lián)合業(yè)余無線電探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)在黃巖島的探險(xiǎn)活動進(jìn)行跟蹤、監(jiān)視和干擾，甚至不顧歷史事實(shí)，聲稱黃巖島在菲律賓主張的200海里專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)內(nèi)，因此是菲律賓領(lǐng)土。對此，中國曾多次向菲律賓提出交涉，明確指出，黃巖島是中國固有領(lǐng)土，菲律賓的主張是無理、非法和無效的。
111. In April 1997, the Philippines turned its back on its previous position that Huangyan Dao is not part of the Philippine territory. The Philippines tracked, monitored and disrupted an international radio expedition on Huangyan Dao organized by the Chinese Radio Sports Association. In disregard of historical facts, the Philippines laid its territorial claim to Huangyan Dao on the grounds that it is located within the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone claimed by the Philippines. In this regard, China made representations several times to the Philippines, pointing out explicitly that Huangyan Dao is China’s inherent territory and that the Philippines’ claim is groundless, illegal and void.

112. 2009年2月17日，菲律賓國會通過9522號共和國法案，非法將中國黃巖島和南沙群島部分島礁劃為菲律賓領(lǐng)土。就此，中國即向菲律賓進(jìn)行交涉并發(fā)表聲明，重申中國對黃巖島和南沙群島及其附近海域的主權(quán)，任何其他國家對黃巖島和南沙群島的島嶼提出領(lǐng)土主權(quán)要求，都是非法的、無效的。
112. On 17 February 2009, the Philippine Congress passed Republic Act No. 9522. That act illegally includes into the Philippines’ territory China’s Huangyan Dao and some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao. China immediately made representations to the Philippines and issued a statement, reiterating China’s sovereignty over Huangyan Dao, Nansha Qundao and the adjacent waters, and declaring in explicit terms that any territorial claim over them made by any other country is illegal and void.

113. 2012年4月10日，菲律賓出動“德爾·皮拉爾”號軍艦，闖入中國黃巖島附近海域，對在該海域作業(yè)的中國漁民、漁船實(shí)施非法抓扣并施以嚴(yán)重非人道待遇，蓄意挑起黃巖島事件。中國即在北京和馬尼拉多次對菲律賓提出嚴(yán)正交涉，對菲律賓侵犯中國領(lǐng)土主權(quán)和傷害中國漁民的行徑表示強(qiáng)烈抗議，要求菲律賓立即撤出一切船只和人員。與此同時(shí)，中國政府迅速派出海監(jiān)和漁政執(zhí)法船只前往黃巖島，維護(hù)主權(quán)并對中國漁民進(jìn)行救助。2012年6月，經(jīng)中國多次嚴(yán)正交涉，菲律賓從黃巖島撤出相關(guān)船只和人員。
113. On 10 April 2012, the Philippines’ naval vessel BRP Gregorio del Pilar (PF-15) intruded into the adjacent waters of China’s Huangyan Dao, illegally seized Chinese fishermen and fishing boats operating there and treated the fishermen in a grossly inhumane manner, thus deliberately causing the Huangyan Dao Incident. In response to the Philippines’ provocation, China immediately made multiple strong representations to Philippine officials in Beijing and Manila to protest the Philippines’ violation of China’s territorial sovereignty and harsh treatment of Chinese fishermen, and demanded that the Philippines immediately withdraw all its vessels and personnel. The Chinese government also promptly dispatched China Maritime Surveillance and China Fisheries Law Enforcement vessels to Huangyan Dao to protect China’s sovereignty and rescue the Chinese fishermen. In June 2012, after firm representations repeatedly made by China, the Philippines withdrew relevant vessels and personnel from Huangyan Dao.

114. 菲律賓對中國黃巖島提出的非法領(lǐng)土要求沒有任何國際法依據(jù)。所謂黃巖島在菲律賓200海里專屬經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)內(nèi)因而是菲律賓領(lǐng)土的主張，顯然是對國際法蓄意和荒唐的歪曲。菲律賓派軍艦武裝闖入黃巖島附近海域，嚴(yán)重侵犯中國領(lǐng)土主權(quán)，嚴(yán)重違背《憲章》和國際法基本原則。菲律賓鼓動并慫恿菲方船只和人員大規(guī)模侵入中國黃巖島海域，嚴(yán)重侵犯中國在黃巖島海域的主權(quán)和主權(quán)權(quán)利。菲律賓非法抓扣在黃巖島海域正常作業(yè)的中國漁民并施以嚴(yán)重的非人道待遇，嚴(yán)重侵犯中國漁民的人格尊嚴(yán)，踐踏人權(quán)。
114. The Philippines’ claim of sovereignty over China’s Huangyan Dao is completely baseless under international law. The illegal claim that “Huangyan Dao is within the Phlippines’ 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone so it is Philippine territory” is a preposterous and deliberate distortion of international law. By sending its naval vessel to intrude into Huangyan Dao’s adjacent waters, the Philippines grossly violated China’s territorial sovereignty, the Charter of the United Nations and fundamental principles of international law. By instigating mass intrusion of its vessels and personnel into waters of Huangyan Dao, the Philippines blatantly violated China’s sovereignty and sovereign rights therein. The Philippines’ illegal seizure of Chinese fishermen engaged in normal operations in waters of Huangyan Dao and the subsequent inhumane treatment of them are gross violations of their dignity and human rights.

iv. The Philippines’ unilateral initiation of arbitration is an act of bad faith

115. 2013年1月22日，菲律賓共和國時(shí)任政府違背中菲之間達(dá)成并多次確認(rèn)的通過談判解決南海有關(guān)爭議的共識，違反其在《宣言》中作出的莊嚴(yán)承諾，在明知領(lǐng)土爭議不屬于《公約》調(diào)整范圍，海洋劃界爭議已被中國2006年有關(guān)聲明排除的情況下，蓄意將有關(guān)爭議包裝成單純的《公約》解釋或適用問題，濫用《公約》爭端解決機(jī)制，單方面提起南海仲裁案。菲律賓此舉不是為了解決與中國的爭議，而是企圖借此否定中國在南海的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)和海洋權(quán)益。菲律賓的行為是惡意的。
115. On 22 January 2013, the then government of the Republic of the Philippines unilaterally initiated the South China Sea arbitration. In doing so, the Philippines has turned its back on the consensus reached and repeatedly reaffirmed by China and the Philippines to settle through negotiation the relevant disputes in the South China Sea and violated its own solemn commitment in the DOC. Deliberately packaging the relevant disputes as mere issues concerning the interpretation or application of UNCLOS while knowing full well that territorial disputes are not subject to UNCLOS and that maritime delimitation disputes have been excluded from the UNCLOS compulsory dispute settlement procedures by China’s 2006 declaration, the Philippines has wantonly abused the UNCLOS dispute settlement procedures. This initiation of arbitration aims not to settle its disputes with China, but to deny China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. This course of conduct is taken out of bad faith.

116. 第一，菲律賓單方面提起仲裁，違反中菲通過雙邊談判解決爭議的協(xié)議。中菲在有關(guān)雙邊文件中已就通過談判解決南海有關(guān)爭議達(dá)成協(xié)議并多次予以確認(rèn)。中國和菲律賓在《宣言》中就通過談判解決南海有關(guān)爭議作出鄭重承諾，并一再在雙邊文件中予以確認(rèn)。上述中菲兩國各項(xiàng)雙邊文件以及《宣言》的相關(guān)規(guī)定相輔相成，構(gòu)成中菲兩國之間的協(xié)議。兩國據(jù)此選擇了以談判方式解決有關(guān)爭端，并排除了包括仲裁在內(nèi)的第三方方式?！凹s定必須遵守”。這項(xiàng)國際法基礎(chǔ)規(guī)范必須得到執(zhí)行。菲律賓違背自己的莊嚴(yán)承諾，是嚴(yán)重的背信棄義行為，不為菲律賓創(chuàng)設(shè)任何權(quán)利，也不為中國創(chuàng)設(shè)任何義務(wù)。
116. First, by unilaterally initiating arbitration, the Philippines has violated its standing agreement with China to settle the relevant disputes through bilateral negotiation. In relevant bilateral documents, China and the Philippines have agreed to settle through negotiation their disputes in the South China Sea and reaffirmed this agreement many times. China and the Philippines made solemn commitment in the DOC to settle through negotiation relevant disputes in the South China Sea, which has been repeatedly affirmed in bilateral documents. The above bilateral documents between China and the Philippines and relevant provisions in the DOC are mutually reinforcing and constitute an agreement in this regard between the two states. By this agreement, they have chosen to settle the relevant disputes through negotiation and to exclude any third party procedure, including arbitration. Pacta sunt servanda. This fundamental norm of international law must be observed. The Philippines’ breach of its own solemn commitment is a deliberate act of bad faith. Such an act does not generate any right for the Philippines, nor does it impose any obligation on China.

117. 第二，菲律賓單方面提起仲裁，侵犯中國作為《公約》締約國自主選擇爭端解決方式的權(quán)利。《公約》第十五部分第280條規(guī)定，“本公約的任何規(guī)定均不損害任何締約國于任何時(shí)候協(xié)議用自行選擇的任何和平方法解決它們之間有關(guān)本公約的解釋或適用的爭端的權(quán)利”；第281條規(guī)定，“作為有關(guān)本公約的解釋或適用的爭端各方的締約各國，如已協(xié)議用自行選擇的和平方法來謀求解決爭端，則只有在訴諸這種方法仍未得到解決以及爭端各方間的協(xié)議并不排除任何其他程序的情形下，才適用本部分所規(guī)定的程序”。由于中菲之間已就通過談判解決爭議作出明確選擇，《公約》規(guī)定的第三方強(qiáng)制爭端解決程序不適用。
117. Second, by unilaterally initiating arbitration, the Philippines has violated China’s right to choose means of dispute settlement of its own will as a state party to UNCLOS. Article 280 of Part XV of UNCLOS stipulates: “Nothing in this Part impairs the right of any States Parties to agree at any time to settle a dispute between them concerning the interpretation or application of this Convention by any peaceful means of their own choice.” Article 281 of UNCLOS provides: “If the States Parties which are parties to a dispute concerning the interpretation or application of this Convention have agreed to seek settlement of the dispute by a peaceful means of their own choice, the procedures provided for in this Part apply only where no settlement has been reached by recourse to such means and the agreement between the parties does not exclude any further procedure”. Given that China and the Philippines have made an unequivocal choice to settle through negotiation the relevant disputes, the compulsory third-party dispute settlement procedures under UNCLOS do not apply.

118. 第三，菲律賓單方面提起仲裁，濫用《公約》爭端解決程序。菲律賓提起仲裁事項(xiàng)的實(shí)質(zhì)是南沙群島部分島礁的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)問題，有關(guān)事項(xiàng)也構(gòu)成中菲海洋劃界不可分割的組成部分。陸地領(lǐng)土問題不屬于《公約》的調(diào)整范圍。2006年，中國根據(jù)《公約》第298條作出排除性聲明，將涉及海洋劃界、歷史性海灣或所有權(quán)、軍事和執(zhí)法行動等方面的爭端排除在《公約》爭端解決程序之外。包括中國在內(nèi)的約30個(gè)國家作出的排除性聲明，構(gòu)成《公約》爭端解決機(jī)制的組成部分。菲律賓通過包裝訴求，惡意規(guī)避中方有關(guān)排除性聲明和陸地領(lǐng)土爭議不屬《公約》調(diào)整事項(xiàng)的限制，單方面提起仲裁，構(gòu)成對《公約》爭端解決程序的濫用。
118. Third, by unilaterally initiating arbitration, the Philippines has abused the UNCLOS dispute settlement procedures. The essence of the subject-matter of the arbitration initiated by the Philippines is an issue of territorial sovereignty over some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao, and the resolution of the relevant matters also constitutes an integral part of maritime delimitation between China and the Philippines. Land territorial issues are not regulated by UNCLOS. In 2006, pursuant to Article 298 of UNCLOS, China made an optional exceptions declaration excluding from the compulsory dispute settlement procedures of UNCLOS disputes concerning, among others, maritime delimitation, historic bays or titles, military and law enforcement activities. Such declarations made by about 30 states, including China, form an integral part of the UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism. By camouflaging its submissions, the Philippines deliberately circumvented the optional exceptions declaration made by China and the limitation that land territorial disputes are not subject to UNCLOS, and unilaterally initiated the arbitration. This course of conduct constitutes an abuse of the UNCLOS dispute settlement procedures.

119. 第四，菲律賓為推動仲裁捏造事實(shí)，曲解法律，編造了一系列謊言：
119. Fourth, in order to push forward the arbitral proceedings, the Philippines has distorted facts, misinterpreted laws and concocted a pack of lies:

——菲律賓明知其仲裁訴求涉及中國在南海的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)，領(lǐng)土問題不屬于《公約》調(diào)整的事項(xiàng)，卻故意將其曲解和包裝成《公約》解釋或適用問題；
— The Philippines, fully aware that its submissions concern China’s territorial sovereignty in the South China Sea, and that territorial issue is not subject to UNCLOS, deliberately mischaracterizes and packages the relevant issue as those concerning the interpretation or application of UNCLOS;

——菲律賓明知其仲裁訴求涉及海洋劃界問題，且中國已根據(jù)《公約》第298條作出聲明，將包括海洋劃界在內(nèi)的爭端排除出《公約》規(guī)定的第三方爭端解決程序，卻故意將海洋劃界過程中需要考慮的各項(xiàng)因素抽離出來，孤立看待，企圖規(guī)避中國有關(guān)排除性聲明；
— The Philippines, fully aware that its submissions concern maritime delimitation, and that China has made an declaration, pursuant to Article 298 of UNCLOS, excluding disputes concerning, among others, maritime delimitation from the UNCLOS third-party dispute settlement procedures, intentionally detaches the diverse factors that shall be taken into consideration in the process of a maritime delimitation and treat them in an isolated way, in order to circumvent China’s optional exceptions declaration;

——菲律賓無視中菲從未就其仲裁事項(xiàng)進(jìn)行任何談判的事實(shí)，故意將其與中國就一般性海洋事務(wù)與合作進(jìn)行的一些磋商曲解為就仲裁事項(xiàng)進(jìn)行的談判，并以此為借口聲稱已窮盡雙邊談判手段；
— The Philippines deliberately misrepresents certain consultations with China on maritime affairs and cooperation, all of a general nature, as negotiations over the subject-matters of the arbitration, and further claims that bilateral negotiations therefore have been exhausted, despite the fact that the two states have never engaged in any negotiation on those subject-matters;

——菲律賓聲稱其不尋求判定任何領(lǐng)土歸屬，或劃定任何海洋邊界，然而在仲裁進(jìn)程中，特別是庭審中，卻屢屢否定中國在南海的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)和海洋權(quán)益；
— The Philippines claims that it does not seek a determination of any territorial issue or a delimitation of any maritime boundary, and yet many times in the course of the arbitral proceedings, especially during the oral hearings, it denies China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea;

——菲律賓無視中國在南海問題上的一貫立場和實(shí)踐，子虛烏有地聲稱中國對整個(gè)南海主張排他性的海洋權(quán)益；
— The Philippines turns a blind eye to China’s consistent position and practice on the South China Sea issue, and makes a completely false assertion that China lays an exclusive claim of maritime rights and interests to the entire South China Sea;

——菲律賓刻意夸大西方殖民者歷史上在南海的作用，否定中國長期開發(fā)、經(jīng)營和管轄南海相關(guān)水域的史實(shí)及相應(yīng)的法律效力；
— The Philippines exaggerates Western colonialists’ role in the South China Sea in history and denies the historical facts and corresponding legal effect of China’s longstanding exploration, exploitation and administration in history of relevant waters of the South China Sea;

——菲律賓牽強(qiáng)附會，拼湊關(guān)聯(lián)性和證明力不強(qiáng)的證據(jù)，強(qiáng)撐其訴訟請求；
— The Philippines puts together some remotely relevant and woefully weak pieces of evidence and makes far-fetched inferences to support its submissions;

——菲律賓隨意解釋國際法規(guī)則，大量援引極具爭議的司法案例和不具權(quán)威性的個(gè)人意見支撐其訴求。
— The Philippines, in order to make out its claims, arbitrarily interprets rules of international law, and resorts to highly controversial legal cases and unauthoritative personal opinions in large quantity.

120. 簡言之，菲律賓單方面提起仲裁違反包括《公約》爭端解決機(jī)制在內(nèi)的國際法。應(yīng)菲律賓單方面請求建立的南海仲裁案仲裁庭自始無管轄權(quán)，所作出的裁決是無效的，沒有拘束力。中國在南海的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)和海洋權(quán)益在任何情況下不受仲裁裁決的影響。中國不接受、不承認(rèn)該裁決，反對且不接受任何以仲裁裁決為基礎(chǔ)的主張和行動。
120. In short, the Philippines’ unilateral initiation of arbitration contravenes international law including the UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism. The Arbitral Tribunal in the South China Sea arbitration established at the Philippines’ unilateral request has, ab initio, no jurisdiction, and awards rendered by it are null and void and have no binding force. China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea shall under no circumstances be affected by those awards. China does not accept or recognize those awards. China opposes and will never accept any claim or action based on those awards.
