On July 12, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague-the world’s oldest institution for resolving international disputes-will deliver a final verdict on the South China Sea territorial dispute between China and the Philippines. This decision, and China’s response to it, will have implications that will reverberate across the sensitive political climate of East Asia. The court is widely expected to decide against China. For its part, Beijing has announced that it will not accept or recognize the verdict, and has recently begun conducting military drills in the disputed water. On Tuesday, July 12, 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET, Asia experts and Seniors Fellows Roger Cliff, Robert Manning, and Jamie Metzl provided insight into the verdict and its important implications for Atlantic Council Members and Board Members.
