Ambassador Le Hoai Trung, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations (UN) on Thursday sent a report to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon protesting China’s illegal occupation of the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago and affirming Vietnam’s sovereignty over it, the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday.
>> Vietnam preparing documents to sue China: premier
>> Vietnam never yields to force: State President
>> Vietnam should prepare for all scenarios in China oil spat: Party chief
>> Vietnam premier urges greater efforts to protect national sovereignty
The paper affirms that the Socialist Republic of Vietnam rejects as completely unfounded, in fact and in law, China’s sovereignty claims over the Hoang Sa archipelago (which China calls “the Xisha islands,” also known as the Paracel Islands) in the annexes to the letters dated May 22, 2014 and June 09, 2014 from the Chargé d’affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations as contained in documents A/68/887 and A/68/907 respectively.
Vietnam affirms that the Chinese claims have no legal or historical foundation, and that historical documents are not in accord with China’s claims of sovereignty over the archipelago in the East Vietnam Sea, Vietnam News Agency reported, citing the paper.
In its recent communications, China has referred to some documents as historical evidence to assert the so-called “sovereignty” of China over the Hoang Sa archipelago that belongs to Vietnam.
However, these documents cannot be authenticated, lack accuracy and have been interpreted by China in an arbitrary fashion. Therefore, they do not by any means prove that China established sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago when this territory was terra nullius.
