Instructions: attach a .png file so I can print it.
a digital infographic that explains the modern international legal issues surrounding the Nine Dash Line.
The infographic is to be PORTRAIT oriented: W50cm X H (100 to 150)cm. Tall and thin. (.png file)
Please mix text with images including diagrams. But NO BIG MAP – we have a giant map. You may use maps that detail small areas of the disputes.
It’s digital, but I will print it out in colour. So use an app that lets you create a 100% sized .png file. And use background colour.
Here are more specific details and data points you can include in your infographic on the Nine-Dash Line:
Definition:
The Nine-Dash Line is a boundary used by China to assert its territorial claims in the South China Sea.
It consists of a series of dashes enclosing an area that covers approximately 80% of the South China Sea.
Historical Background:
The Nine-Dash Line was first officially depicted on a Chinese map in 1947.
It originated from historical claims of Chinese control and navigation in the South China Sea.
Territorial Claims:
The Nine-Dash Line overlaps with the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) and territorial waters of neighboring countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan.
It encompasses disputed features such as the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands, Scarborough Shoal, and others.
International Rulings and Responses:
In 2016, an international tribunal constituted under UNCLOS ruled against China’s claims and the legal basis of the Nine-Dash Line.
The tribunal concluded that China’s claims had no legal standing under international law.
The ruling was welcomed by many countries in the region and the international community.
Disputed Islands and Features:
Include a map highlighting the disputed islands and features in the South China Sea.
Provide specific names and locations of prominent features claimed by China and other countries.
Regional Impact:
The South China Sea is a crucial waterway for international trade, with an estimated $5 trillion worth of goods passing through annually.
The disputes have led to increased tensions, maritime incidents, and military build-up in the region.
Highlight the concerns about potential impacts on freedom of navigation and regional stability.
Ongoing Developments:
Include recent developments such as infrastructure construction, militarization, and diplomatic negotiations related to the disputed areas.
Mention notable events, agreements, or conflicts that have occurred in recent years.
Call for Peaceful Resolution:
Emphasize the importance of peaceful dialogue, adherence to international law, and diplomatic negotiations to resolve the disputes.
Include quotes or statements from relevant stakeholders, such as neighboring countries, international organizations, or legal experts.
Remember to use visuals such as maps, icons, and charts to visually represent the information effectively. Arrange the information in a clear and concise manner, using headings, subheadings, and bullet points to enhance readability.
