Using official documents, government pronouncements and academic studies, including historical documents and maps, the lecture will assess the merits of the nine-dash line. Taking into account the UNCLOS and customary international law, the lecture will also discuss policy considerations relevant to the conflicting claims and the current arbitration case.
