7 December 2014
目 录 Contents
一、引言 I. Introduction
二、菲律宾提请仲裁事项的实质是南海部分岛礁的领土主权问题，不涉及《公约》的解释或适用 II. The essence of the subject-matter of the arbitration is the territorial sovereignty over several maritime features in the South China Sea, which does not concern the interpretation or application of the Convention
三、通过谈判方式解决在南海的争端是中菲两国之间的协议，菲律宾无权单方面提起强制仲裁 III. There exists an agreement between China and the Philippines to settle their disputes in the South China Sea through negotiations, and the Philippines is debarred from unilaterally initiating compulsory arbitration
四、即使菲律宾提出的仲裁事项涉及有关《公约》解释或适用的问题，也构成海域划界不可分割的组成部分，已被中国2006年声明所排除，不得提交仲裁 IV. Even assuming, arguendo, that the subject-matter of the arbitration were concerned with the interpretation or application of the Convention, that subject-matter would still be an integral part of maritime delimitation and, having been excluded by the 2006 Declaration filed by China, could not be submitted for arbitration
五、中国自主选择争端解决方式的权利应得到充分尊重，中国不接受、不参与菲律宾提起的仲裁具有充分的国际法依据 V. China's right to freely choose the means of dispute settlement must be fully respected, and its rejection of and non-participation in the present arbitration is solidly grounded in international law
六、结论 VI. Conclusions
