“南海仲裁案”实体问题裁决将公布

2016年6月8日，中国外交部发布了《中华人民共和国外交部关于坚持通过双边谈判解决中国和菲律宾在南海有关争议的声明》，重申中国坚持不接受、不参与菲律宾仲裁案以及通过双边谈判解决中菲在南海有关争议的立场。

On June 8, 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China released the Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China on Settling Disputes Between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea Through Bilateral Negotiation, reiterating its position of non-acceptance of and non-participation in the arbitration and settling the relevant disputes between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea through bilateral negotiation.

二、菲律宾单方面提起南海仲裁案违反国际法。

2. The Philippines’ unilateral initiation of arbitration breaches international law.

第一，中菲通过一系列双边文件和《南海各方行为宣言》早已就通过双边谈判解决南海有关争议达成协议，《联合国海洋法公约》（以下简称《公约》）规定的仲裁程序不适用中菲南海有关争议。

First, China and the Philippines have agreed, through a series of bilateral instruments and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, to settle their relevant disputes in the South China Sea through bilateral negotiation. The arbitration proceeding under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) does not apply to the relevant disputes between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
