新加坡正在研究南中国海仲裁案仲裁结果对新加坡和本区域的影响。新加坡重申并非南中国海主权声索国，呼吁各方尊重法律和外交程序，行使自制并避免展开任何可能导致区域局势紧张的活动。

外交部发言人今天接受媒体询问时发布声明说，新加坡已知晓南中国海仲裁案仲裁结果。“我们正在研究仲裁结果以及它对新加坡和更广泛的区域的影响。”

外交部发言人重申，新加坡不是南中国海主权声索国，也不偏袒任何声索国。新加坡支持各方依据包括《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法，和平解决纠纷，而不是采取武力威胁或行动。

发言人说：“作为小国，我们强力支持维持一个以规则为基础、维护并保障所有国家的权益与特权的国际秩序。”

外交部发言人也强调，无论是双边关系或置于亚细安背景下的多边关系上，新加坡珍惜同所有声索国长久与友好的关系，并呼吁各方完全尊重法律和外交程序，行使自制并避免展开任何可能导致区域局势升温的活动。

新加坡也支持全面有效地落实《南中国海各方行为宣言》，并呼吁各方迅速制定有法律约束力的《南中国海行为准则》。

Singapore urges respect for court ruling on South China Sea

SINGAPORE — Singapore has urged "all parties to fully respect legal and diplomatic processes" following the Permanent Court of Arbitration's ruling on the South China Sea dispute between China and the Philippines. The court on Tuesday (July 12) ruled that Beijing has no historic title over the waters of the South China Sea and that it has breached Manila's sovereign rights with its actions. China has dismissed the case as a farce. This is the Singapore Foreign Ministry's response to the court ruling, in full:

In response to media queries on the ruling of the Arbitral Tribunal in the Philippines v China case under Annex VII to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the MFA Spokesman said:
1 Singapore has taken note of the Award made by the Arbitral Tribunal convened under Annex VII to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on 12 July 2016 on the case between the Republic of the Philippines and the People’s Republic of China. We are studying the Award and its implications on Singapore and the wider region.

2 Singapore is not a claimant state and we do not take sides on the competing territorial claims. However, we support the peaceful resolution of disputes among claimants in accordance with universally-recognised principles of international law, including UNCLOS, without resorting to the threat or use of force. As a small state, we strongly support the maintenance of a rules-based order that upholds and protects the rights and privileges of all states.

3 Singapore values our long-standing and friendly relations with all parties, bilaterally and in the context of ASEAN. We urge all parties to fully respect legal and diplomatic processes, exercise self-restraint and avoid conducting any activities that may raise tensions in the region.

4  Singapore supports the full and effective implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and the expeditious conclusion of a legally-binding Code of Conduct in the South China Sea.
