Abstract
The Philippines’claim of the sovereignty over the Spratly Islands has experienced the process from a“national security based”approach to a “national sovereignty based”approach,and soughts support from the general principles of international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS ). All evidences and reasons were merely administrative or legislative products made with the historical develop-ment under Philippines’nationalist sentiment.With the changes of international political realities and the devel-opment of international law,the Philippine government’s legal claims transformed gradually from basing purely on domestic claims or legislation to seeking support of international law,moving close to the system established by UNCLOS.Predictably,with the further development of international law and the changes of the Philippine domestic administration and legislation,there is still a possibility of philippines further integrating its legal basis of sovereignty over the Spratly islands.关键词
