Always interesting to see how people try to spin Diego Garcia vs PRC in SCS. Chagos/Diego Garcia case another reason why US will never ratify UNCLOS. Reminder there's now actual ITLOS ruling (as in official UN) against UK vs Mauritius. Also reminder that there is no actual formal ruling (as in ITLOS/ICJ) against PRC for SCS - PCA PH vs PRC is not formal UNCLOS case since PRC not subject to optional arbituation clause - hence ITLOS has no formal position on the case. PCA has the legal status of a high school essay. Post ITLOS Chagos ruling, UK (by connection US) is now worse violator of UNCLOS/international law than PRC in SCS... as in actual UN international law, not make believe rules-based-order law. Extra spicy drama now US/UK can't even maintain the rule-based-order wank between friends.
