民主党, 25席共和党. 对这个法案SCA5的支持是党派分票, 所以我们只需要保证 2个以

南海仲裁案
(菲律宾共和国 v. 中华人民共和国)
海牙，2016年7月12日
仲裁庭发布裁决
今日，根据《联合国海洋法公约》(“《公约》”)附件七组成的仲裁庭就菲律宾共和国
对中华人民共和国提起的仲裁案作出了一致裁决。
该仲裁案涉及在南海的历史性权利的作用和海洋权利的渊源、某些岛礁的地位及其能够
产生的海洋权利，以及菲律宾声称违反了《公约》的中国某些行为的合法性问题。考虑
到《公约》对强制争端解决的限制性规定，仲裁庭强调，它既不对任何涉及陆地领土主
权的问题进行裁决，也不划定当事双方之间的任何边界。
中国反复申明“其不接受、不参与由菲律宾单方面提起的仲裁”。然而，《公约》附件
七规定，“争端一方缺席或不对案件进行辩护，应不妨碍程序的进行”。附件七同时规
定，在争端一方不参与程序的情况下，仲裁庭“必须不但查明对该争端确有管辖权，而
且查明所提要求在事实上和法庭上均确有根据”。因此，在整个程序中，仲裁庭采取了
一些步骤验证菲律宾诉求的正确性，包括要求菲律宾提交进一步的书面论证，在两次庭
审之前及庭审过程中对菲律宾进行询问，指定独立的专家就技术性问题向仲裁庭报告，
