SINGAPORE – China said Saturday that it will ignore the decision of an international arbitration panel in the Philippines' lawsuit against Beijing's sweeping territorial claims in the South China Sea.
"To put it simply, the arbitration case actually has gone beyond the jurisdiction" of a U.N. arbitration panel, said Rear Adm. Guan Youfei, director of the foreign affairs office of China's National Defense Ministry.
The Philippines has filed a case in the United Nations under the U.N. Convention on Law of the Sea, questioning China's territorial claim in the South China Sea. An arbitration panel is expected to rule on the case soon. The Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled last year that it has jurisdiction over the case despite China's rejection.

Why do we bother with the UN? China proves the UN is worthless.

We have neglected making the UN capable of robust enforcement, though we knew it was a matter of no less than survival. After Iraq we had the best chance ever of achieving it and Obama fumbled it.
Yes wrestling a country away from one minority with genocidal tendencies and putting it into the hands of the rival sect who have the same tendency is the best way to stabilize it. What could go wrong? Iraq was THE monumental blunder of this millennium and doomed to failure from the start.

You Americans are very odd. Whe the UN has effective powers you complain of being governed by ZOG or some such. When you don't get your way with it it's not powerful enough.
What...
I hate the ****ing UN, I find this act by China as a nail in what should be coffin of that corrupt, inept, ineffective waste of resources.
OK, so how would you like this issue of international law to be resolved and what power should be used to enforce the ruling?
International law? Law is only as effective as the willingness of the governed abide by said law. That abiding is adhered to due to the backing of force. There is no international law, it's merely handcuffs for the honest laid on by the dishonest.
That's the fallacy of "international law"
So what do you want done in the Soth China sea and by whom?
