## Resource

Fourteen nations, led by the U.S. and the Philippines, are rallying to defend international law in the South China Sea, marking the 10-year anniversary of the landmark 2016 Hague ruling that rejected China’s territorial claims. Joining forces with Australia, Japan, Germany, and the UK, they’re reaffirming their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and urging China to respect the binding arbitration decision. Despite China’s continued defiance, the coalition stresses peaceful dispute resolution, condemns coercive tactics, and pushes for open sea lanes. The U.S. is also boosting regional ties through economic initiatives, reinforcing a global push to uphold the rules-based order and safeguard freedom of navigation in this strategically vital region.
