Vietnam (small country): make advantage of values from Liberalism (UNCLOS 1982, UN Charter, Int’ Court of Justice, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea)

4.1. Persistent negotiation potential risks of war- Maintain protest at sea by fisheries
surveillance vessels armed conflicts at sea- Localized attacks pressure, fright Vietnam:
either surrender or counterattack war
![Page 17: Dr. Le Trung Tinh Dr. Le Vinh Truong Toulouse, July August 2014 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551b7229550346a6148b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

4.2. War would not help solving dispute- War unlikely to help settle dispute
thoroughly (from history: 1974, 1979, 1988…)- Legal means each party: fair, free to use
tools (reasoning, evidences), judgment: rational, clear-cut, public, enjoy international recognition
- War crimes + sufferings
![Page 18: Dr. Le Trung Tinh Dr. Le Vinh Truong Toulouse, July August 2014 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551b7229550346a6148b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

4.3. War erases history- Each party distorts related history for its sake
heroic, pathetic images- Decades disillusioned hope no war
4.4. Lawsuit as means of war prevention
![Page 19: Dr. Le Trung Tinh Dr. Le Vinh Truong Toulouse, July August 2014 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551b7229550346a6148b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

5. Political impacts from initiating a lawsuit against China
New manner of response to ChinaFree from China’s politico-economic influenceEnhance mutual understanding, reconciliation
among Vietnamese peopleVietnamese: get access to universal values
request justice

7. Long-term macro-economic reprisals related to trade balance, cooperation, investment
Short term: affect Vietnamese people’s living
Medium, long term: solve weaknesses, free from China’s shade more equitable partners (U.S., EU…)

8. China’s possible economic reprisals in long term
Not easy / ready for China to take economic reprisals (Ex: Philippines, Vietnam’s approval of Law on Vietnamese Sea 21/06/2012)
Economic ties among countries globally monitored, criticized if “unreasonable” and prolonged
![Page 23: Dr. Le Trung Tinh Dr. Le Vinh Truong Toulouse, July August 2014 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551b7229550346a6148b4fe0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

9. ConclusionInitiate a lawsuit against China:
- civilized action- Active form of foreign relations, effective
solution of war prevention- Create positive political impacts
Dealing with economic reprisals Short term: some difficulties Long term: solve problems, weaknesses in economic relations with China
