Philippines takes China to UN over sea row


MANILA: The Philippines has gone to a UN tribunal to challenge China's claims over most of the South China Sea including Philippine territory, Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said Tuesday.
"The Philippines has exhausted almost all political and diplomatic avenues for a peaceful negotiated settlement of its maritime dispute with China... we hope that the arbitral proceedings shall bring this dispute to a durable solution," he told a news conference.
