IBP supports the Philippines' stance on Filipino fishermen's rights in 200-mile EEZ, citing constitutional protection and historical treaties.
The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) supports the Philippines' stance on Filipino fishermen's rights to operate in the 200-mile EEZ. Citing the 1987 Constitution, IBP states that the government must protect fishermen's rights and provide preferential treatment in communal fishing grounds. Historical treaties and the 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration's decision affirm the Philippines' sovereign rights over its EEZ in the West Philippine Sea.
