According to international law, Vietnam has sufficient historical and legal evidence to prove its sovereignty over two archipelagoes of Paracels and Spratlys, asserting that they are inseparable parts of Vietnam’s territory. Despite that fact, China took advantage and used force, inconsistently with international law, to invade all Paracels (then under the management of the southern Vietnam’s authority) on January 19th 1974 and partly Spratlys on March 14th 1988 , creating a state of sovereignty dispute with Vietnam in the two archipelagoes of Paracels and Spratlys.
Legally, Vietnam and the international community have never recognized and will never recognize the China’s sovereignty over Paracels and Spratlys which they used force occupy, seriously violating international law. However, since China’s invasions of Vietnam’s Paracels and Spratlys has been limitedly mentioned in the history of relations between Vietnam and China as well as because of one-sided and deviated reports from China, people in the two countries an over the world have not been able to get correct information and insights about these events.
This website is created by people who respect the history, trust in international law, and believe that what belongs to the sovereignty of Vietnam, sooner or later, will be returned to Vietnam, because a part of Vietnamese territory is a part of the Vietnamese blood and flesh. The editors aim to provide readers with rich, multi-dimensional and objective information about the events happening in Paracels in 1974, and in Spratlys in 1988, and about the issue of national sovereignty over waters and islands, which will let the readers say themselves who’s wrong and who’s right in this sovereignty dispute.
The editorial team’s knowledge as well as ability of collecting and synthesizing is no doubt modest compared to the huge data sources of historical evidence and legal base of Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Paracels and Spratlys. Thus, we look forward to receiving comments, analyzing articles from those who love the truth, in order that the page will become a good provider of objective and true information about Vietnam’s sovereignty over islands of Paracels and Spratlys.
We wish the attention and support from our readers!!
