27- The South China Sea, pt. 3: FONOPs and The Law of the Sea
In this episode of the US Naval History podcast's South China Sea miniseries, we delve into the Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOPs) and China's illegal maritime claims. I dissect the misleading claims made by the China Global Television Network and explore the significance of different maritime features, such as islands, rocks, and low tide elevations, and the rights they grant to countries under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Discover why China's artificial islands fail to establish legal entitlements and how FONOPs aim to uphold international maritime rules.
