Why didn't Philippine ask the UN backed courts, instead of the Private Temporary Arbitration over the water territory disputes with China in SCS?
Can you tell me why didn't Philippine ask the UN backed courts, instead of the private temporary arbitration over the water territory disputes with China in SCS?
One possible reason for Philippines not approaching the UN backed courts could be due to its complicated relationship with China, and its desire to resolve the issue quickly and through a less confrontational means. The temporary arbitration was chosen as a way to quickly and efficiently resolve the dispute.
