| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Asia-Pacific region, even the world, is increasingly focusing on the South China Sea, which is not only one of the most important waterways in the world but also a hot spot of competing claims to territorial sovereignty. The disputes in this region are not new. They can be categorized into two groups: the first concerning territorial sovereignty over islands or reefs, and the second the overlapping exclusive economic zones and continental shelf claims. Historically, the claimants follow the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). |
