IN PHOTOS: Philippines challenges China in The Hague
MANILA, Philippines – Behind closed doors, the Philippines recently waged a legal battle against China in The Hague, Netherlands, in a historic case over the disputed West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).
The Philippines on Thursday, July 23, is set to submit a new document to The Hague to bolster its case.
While Manila pursues this, a question remains: What exactly happened during hearings from July 7 to 13?
The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague, which serves as the venue for the arbitration proceedings, emailed Rappler high-resolution photos to give us a glimpse of the closed-door hearings.
The photos show a powerhouse team, led by internationally acclaimed lawyer Paul Reichler, defending the Philippines' case before an equally high-caliber arbitral tribunal in The Hague. (READ: PH lawyer vs China: 'Giant slayer' who defeated US)
The tribunal said around 60 members joined the Philippine team. (READ: Binay hits Philippine team vs China in The Hague)
