520 _aThe lectures and articles collected in this book invite the reader to undertake a critical analysis of the state of the Philippine territory under the regime of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The UNCLOS was ratified under martial law conditions, by a legislative process defined by authoritarian governance, which precluded a free press and restricted public expression. The impact of the UNCLOS on the Philippine territorial situation has never been examined objectively and remains a central strategic problem that has become more forbidding, considering the Supreme Court's application of UNCLOS to Philippine territory. But judicial approval should make a critical review even more challenging. --Back cover of the book.
