The article cites the law according to which the use of force in law enforcement has long been approved by the relevant international laws. For example, the United Nations Agreement on the Implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982 relating to the conservation and management of fisheries allows “the use of force but without exceed the reasonable required level. The article argues that it shows the need to enforce the law by force in specific cases.
Also, sheets Hoan Cau Times newspaper Considering that China has sovereignty in the South China Sea, the application of the law under the new maritime law in this maritime zone is entirely appropriate.
Specifically, the International Court of Arbitration (ICA) issued a ruling in 2016 rejecting China’s claim of sovereignty in the South China Sea. The CPA ruled on a series of references from UNCLOS 1982. Therefore, China cannot use the rights that UNCLOS 1982 allows to apply to waters that China does not claim under UNCLOS 1982.
Regarding the previous customs law, international experts and the governments of many countries have raised many concerns, especially as China has repeatedly had many disruptive acts in the South China Sea for many years.
Also in the previous article, the sheet Hoan Cau Times newspaper also “change white and change black” by writing: “For a long time, China’s maritime security forces have not taken any action against foreign fishermen in normal operation, not to mention measures to endanger their lives.”
For this reason, the Chinese maritime scene has been considered a “god” in the South China Sea for many years. Specifically, despite the PCA ruling, from 2016 to now, Beijing has regularly dispatched coast guard ships to carry out acts that infringe on Vietnam’s sovereignty. Typically, in early April 2020, a Chinese navy ship for no reason unjustly sunk a Vietnamese fishing vessel that was legally operating in the area near the Paracel archipelago. This act on the Chinese coast has been strongly condemned by the international community.
This is not the first sheet Hoan Cau Times newspaper Post the sophistication of China’s new maritime law. In November 2020, the newspaper published “Foreign Media Causes Trouble by Promoting China’s Coast Guard Bill” also in a similar tone.
