말레이시아 소송이 싱가포르 산호초에 미치는 영향
의원들은 말레이시아가 국제법원에서 소송을 계속할 계획이 싱가포르의 산호초 개발에 영향을 미치는지에 대해 질의했습니다. 외교부 장관은 2008년 판결이 확정되었고 시효가 만료되었으며 말레이시아 측의 구체적인 소송 세부 사항을 아직 받지 못했다고 응답했습니다. 싱가포르는 모든 법적 조치에 대응할 준비가 되어 있으며 개발 활동은 모두 법률을 준수한다고 했으며, 핵심 논쟁은 주권 보호와 법적 절차 시효에 관한 것입니다.

- • Development is law-compliant
산호초 주권 확고한 수호

3 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs (a) whether Malaysia's intention to continue legal action at the International Court of Justice in the case concerning Singapore's sovereignty over Pedra Branca, Middle Rocks and South Ledge impacts Singapore's existing and planned development and land reclamation works in and around Pedra Branca; and (b) if so, how.
Dr Vivian Balakrishnan : After the International Court of Justice's (ICJ’s) judgment in 2008 awarding sovereignty over Pedra Branca to Singapore, both Singapore and Malaysia publicly announced that they will accept and abide by the Court’s decision, which is final. Under the Statute of the ICJ, an application for revision cannot be made after the expiry of 10 years from the date of the 2008 judgment, that is, May 2018. To date, we have not received any details from Malaysia regarding their intention to continue legal action at the ICJ.
Nevertheless, Singapore stands ready to deal with whatever legal action Malaysia may pursue, so as to robustly defend our sovereignty over Pedra Branca. The development and land reclamation works at Pedra Branca are carried out within Singapore Territorial Waters and in accordance with international law.
