On Saturday (June 15), the Philippines officially submitted a request to the United Nations to extend its continental shelf in the South China Sea, aiming to assert its sovereignty and national interests amid sovereignty disputes with China. The submission was approved by Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and involved comprehensive technical and scientific surveys of the West Philippine Sea prior to the proposal. This move coincided with China's enforcement of a new law allowing detention of foreigners deemed to have entered waters claimed by China, drawing condemnation from parties involved in the South China Sea territorial disputes and the G7. The Philippines' application to extend its continental shelf came on the same day as these developments, and the West Philippine Sea is the Filipino government's term for the Philippines' 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone in the South China Sea.
