Spratlys solution: Law of Seas | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "MANILA, Philippines — Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said the best way to resolve the Spratlys conflict is by invoking the Law of the Seas under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS), especially if other nations are violating the country’s exclusive economic zones (EEZ).
“We can invoke the Law of the Seas to the UN if they would violate our exclusive economic zone because there’s a treaty among nations,” he said.
As the conflict heightens, United States Ambassador to the Philippines Harry K. Thomas Jr. Tuesday assured the Philippines of the US government’s support to the country in resolving the issue, reiterating that the Philippines and the United States are “partners” and “treaty allies.”
“I want to assure you that on all subjects, we, the United States, are with the Philippines,” Thomas said in his speech during the launch of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) in Makati City Tuesday, which was attended by President Benigno S. Aquino III."
