Abstract

The article focuses on the Philippines' potential legal actions against China regarding its claims in the South China Sea, following China's disregard for a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration that favored the Philippines. Despite the Philippines' concerns about military escalation, it is considering a new case centered on environmental damage allegedly caused by China within its exclusive economic zone. Experts suggest that while a new legal victory for the Philippines may not change China's behavior, it could impact China's international reputation and bring renewed attention to the maritime dispute. However, there are risks involved, including possible retaliation from China and the costs associated with litigation. [Extracted from the article]
