I want to commend Dr. @JeffreyOrdaniel for successfully organizing another two-day event, the “National Symposium on the Law of the Sea and the West Philippine Sea

I found Atty. Fretti Ganchoon’s lecture, delivered as DOJ Senior State Counsel, to be very interesting. She addressed the misconceptions and wrong interpretations regarding the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea.

Most importantly, she also pointed out that the award is final and binding on China, even though it did not take part in the arbitration process.
