Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - After almost a year since the Philippines' stalemate with China on Panatag Shoal (Scarborough Shoal), it's about time we brought the controversy to the binding and compulsory dispute settlement procedure of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos). But contrary to many media reports, the action is not before the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (Itlos), or before the United Nations. What was initiated is ad hoc arbitration pursuant to the Unclos.
