Philippines submits UN document asserting exclusive rights to South China Sea resources.
The Philippines has submitted an official document to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, asserting its exclusive rights to resources in the South China Sea off its western coast. The move follows the country's efforts to push back against China's claims to the resource-rich sea while strengthening its defense ties with the US. The submission is for the right to an extended continental shelf in the Western Palawan region.
