“Yes, I'm in favor of bringing the issue to the UN. We must sponsor a resolution, submit it to the General Assembly that China must comply with the arbitral award of July 12, 2016. That will be put to a vote. I think we will win there,” the former SC justice said.
Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said Monday it is time for the Philippine government to submit a resolution to the United Nations General Assembly to have China comply with the 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling which rejected its expansive claims in the South China Sea.
According to him, “majority” of the UN member states would side with the Philippines, including countries from the European Union , Group of Seven , as well as India, South Korea, and Japan. “They will be supporting us because by supporting us, they are preserving their own exclusive economic zone,” he added.
