菲律賓仲裁案的發展及其相關作為：歷史與法律之爭

The Development of the Republic of Philippines v. The People’s Republic of China and Philippines’ Related Measures: History and Legal Complex

對菲律賓而言，根據《聯合國海洋法公約》的附件七仲裁將是最有效的解決方法，並會使其與中國在南海爭端中取得最有利的結果。此外，繼續談判也不是菲律賓一個可行的選項，因為任何協議都不足以制止中國未來在南海的行動。總體而言，不僅將仲裁導致菲律賓最有效和最有利的結果，它也將奠定南海所有聲索方之間未來穩定的基礎。作為聲索方之一的臺灣，似乎對此仲裁案並未準備完善，始終處於法學與政策的被動立場。本文除扼要說明仲裁案的發展外，也關注仲裁庭對必要第三方的訴求，當然，本文也關注在法庭之外發生的法律論戰。總之，此高度涉及臺灣利益的案子成為檢驗臺灣國際法學界的試金石。

Arbitration under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) would be the most effective resolution method and would lead to the most favorable outcome for the Philippines against China in the South China Sea (SCS) Dispute. On the other side, continued negotiations are also not a viable option for the Philippines because any agreement would be inadequate to deter China from future actions in the SCS. Furthermore, not only will arbitration lead to the most efficient and favorable outcome for the Philippines, it will also lay the groundwork for future stability among all claimant states in the SCS. In this paper, in addition to a brief description of the development of the arbitration, whether any third parties are indispensable to the proceedings is also concerned. Of course, this article is also concerned about the legal debate occurring outside the tribunal. Overall, this case involves nation interests of Taiwan has become the touchstone to test Taiwan's academy of international law.
