The South China Sea is a strategic marine area in terms of
natural resource potential and international trade routes.
For decades, territorial disputes have occurred with
peaceful solutions from regional organizations,
international courts, and even contributions from outside
the claimant state. This paper examines the efforts made to
contribute to a peaceful solution to disputed states of
claims. The achievement of a peaceful solution, the
shortcomings of the peaceful solution to the proposed
peaceful solution’s chronology. This research is normative
juridical research that is historical descriptive in nature.
The South China Sea Dispute arises from China’s actions
regarding its map of its maritime territories that do not
comply with international maritime law. Regulations
regarding the method of drawing deep-sea boundaries
under international maritime law are violated in this act.
Negotiation efforts in finding conflict solutions in regional
organizations, state leadership meetings, informal
meetings of claim state policymakers, and efforts to file
claims by the Philippines at permanent court arbitration
have been carried out. China’s action that does not
recognize the Philippine lawsuit decision poses a
challenge to international maritime law and its member
countries. A complete peaceful solution must be sought
immediately when Softlaw and hard law must comply with
the claiming state.
