菲國南海主張電子書 將推出中文版

菲律賓最高法院大法官卡皮奧(Antonio Carpio)最近發行了一本駁斥中國大陸南海9段線主張的電子書,並打算於今年內推出中文版,讓中國大陸人民瞭解菲國的立場。
這本電子書名為「南海爭議:菲律賓在西菲律賓海的主權與管轄權」(The South China Sea Dispute: Philippine Sovereign Rights and Jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea),可在「http://murillovelardemap.com/」網站下載。
為彰顯主權,菲律賓政府把南海菲索區域更名為「西菲律賓海」,範圍基本上就是聯合國海洋法公約賦予的200海里專屬經濟區。
卡皮奧今天(6日)在廣播節目中說,這本電子書旨在讓菲人以及未來的世代瞭解自己國家在南海的海洋權利,同時也希望告訴其他沿海國家,協助菲律賓的捍衛海洋權利,也符合他們的國家利益。
他並將於今年以內為這本電子書推出「中文版」,說服中國大陸人南海9段線沒有法律效力,「實體書本肯定無法在中國發行,它會被禁止,所以我出電子書。」
卡皮奧是菲國南海國際仲裁案法律團隊的一員。
馬尼拉於2013年把跟北京之間的南海爭議提交國際仲裁,設於海牙的常設仲裁庭去年7月裁決中國大陸南海9段線主張在國際法之下沒有效力,但北京「不接受、不承認」仲裁結果。
這本電子書共有260多頁,內容包括地圖、歷史文件、法律依據與菲方論述,裏面也引據了中國國民黨有關南海的史料,也主張太平島不具備作為「島嶼」的天然條件,因此不能享有200海里專屬經濟區。

Filipino judge's book refutes China's sea claims
A Philippine Supreme Court justice has launched a book that questions China's historic claims to most of the South China Sea and said he will distribute it online to try to overcome China's censorship and reach its people.
Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said his e-book can be downloaded for free in English now and will be made available later in Mandarin, Vietnamese, Bahasa, Japanese and Spanish to help more people understand the basis of the Philippines' stand against China's territorial claims.
Carpio said public opinion, including in China, can help pressure Beijing to comply with an arbitration ruling last year that invalidated China's historic claims based on a 1982 maritime treaty.
“This book in its printed form can never be distributed in China. It will be banned,” Carpio said at the launch of his book in Manila. “The only way this e-book can reach the Chinese people is in electronic format through the internet.”
“I believe that like all other people of the world, the Chinese people are inherently good, but their government has drilled into their minds that they own the South China Sea since 2,000 years ago. This is, of course, utterly false and the world will never accept this,” he said. Chinese Embassy officials were not immediately available for comment.
In the book, titled “The South China Sea Dispute: Philippine Sovereign Rights and Jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea,” Carpio uses old maps, photographs, excerpts from the arbitration ruling, Chinese government statements and documents to question the validity of their claims.
Carpio's studies on the South China Sea disputes are not part of his work on the Supreme Court. He said he asked the court's permission in 2015 to give lectures in 17 countries to explain the territorial conflicts, which many fear could become Asia's next flashpoint.
Carpio warns in the book that China may be planning to build more island outposts at Luconia Shoal off Malaysia and Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines. (AP)
