Increased tensions and solutions to the territorial dispute over the
Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos in the East Sea
will be hotly debated at a seminar in the central city of Da Nang on
June 20-21, radio The Voice of Vietnam (VOV) reported.
More than 100 local and foreign scholars will shed light on the dispute over these two archipelagos, its impact on peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region, Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa, and workable solutions.
Professor Carlyle Thayer from the Australia Defence Force Academy will present a report on geopolitical issues relating to Hoang Sa Archipelago and the role of international law in settling the dispute and promoting cooperation.
General Daniel Schaeffer, former French military attaché to China, Thailand and Vietnam, will examine China’s groundless ‘nine-dash line’ claim, while Professor Jerome Cohen from New York University School of Law, will look at the role of the arbitration court in settling disputes in Asia.
Dr. Julie Nguyen from Centennia College, Toronto, Canada, will put forward solutions for cooperation and shared development in the region for peace and security in the region and the rest of the world.
The scholars will also present historical evidence and legal foundations to assert Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos, and look at possible solutions for settling the dispute.
On June 21, they will touch upon China’s illegal placement of its floating drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 deep inside Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
At the beginning of May, China illegally dispatched the rig as well as a large fleet of armed vessels, military ships and aircraft to Vietnam’s waters and positioned the rig at 15 degrees 29 minutes 58 seconds north latitude and 111 degrees 12 minutes 06 seconds east longitude, 80 miles deep inside Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
Despite Vietnam’s protest, China has expanded its scale of operation and moved the rig to 15 degrees 33 minutes 36 seconds north latitude and 111 degrees 34 minutes 11 seconds east longitude, 60 nautical miles deep inside Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.-VNA
