MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, May 26, warned that China will be going against international law if it pushes through with its newest coast guard regulation. While any state has the right to have its own laws, the Philippine government agency reminded China that domestic laws cannot be applied in the “territory, maritime zones, or jurisdictions of other states, nor violate other sovereign states’ rights and entitlements under international law.”
China earlier said that the new regulations merely “standardize the administrative law-enforcement procedures of Coast Guard agencies and better uphold order at sea,” and that it is “consistent with universal practices.”tagged
