Nine-Dash line, Maritime Territorialization, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)Abstract
This paper delves into the contentious issue of the Nine-Dash Line and marine territorialization in the South China Sea, with a specific focus on the sovereignty claims of the Philippines and Indonesia under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The Nine-Dash Line, asserted by China, intersects with the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of several Southeast Asian nations, notably the Philippines and Indonesia, leading to disputes over fishing rights, oil and gas exploration, and regional militarization. Through an exploration of the legal framework provided by UNCLOS, this study aims to elucidate potential avenues for conflict resolution, whether through diplomatic negotiations, arbitration, or legal adjudication. Additionally, the abstract highlights the geopolitical dimensions of the issue, emphasizing the roles played by key regional and global actors. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding maritime sovereignty in the South China Sea and offers insights into pathways for peaceful resolution of disputes
