Yes, what role does international law play in these disputes?

International law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), provides a framework for resolving maritime disputes. It helps define territorial waters and rights to resources. Would you like to know more about how these laws are applied?

Absolutely, how have countries used UNCLOS in their claims?

Countries often cite UNCLOS to justify their claims over maritime boundaries and resources. For instance, China and the Philippines have both referenced UNCLOS in their arguments regarding the South China Sea. Would you like to discuss a specific case?
