国新办发表中菲南海争议白皮书（双语对照）

（四）菲律宾单方面提起仲裁是恶意行为

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

115. 2013年1月22日，菲律宾共和国时任政府违背中菲之间达成并多次确认的通过谈判解决南海有关争议的共识，违反其在《宣言》中作出的庄严承诺，在明知领土争议不属于《公约》调整范围，海洋划界争议已被中国2006年有关声明排除的情况下，蓄意将有关争议包装成单纯的《公约》解释或适用问题，滥用《公约》争端解决机制，单方面提起南海仲裁案。菲律宾此举不是为了解决与中国的争议，而是企图借此否定中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益。菲律宾的行为是恶意的。

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.
