ARLA/CLUSTER: Grupo internacional de radioamadores propõem-se activar as Ilhas Spratly

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

As ilhas Spratly são uma zona de conflitos territoriais em andamento
entre o Brunei, República Popular da China, Malásia, Filipinas,
República da China (Taiwan) e Vietnam acerca do domínio das Ilhas
Spratly, um grupo de ilhas associadas a "recursos marítimos", como
recifes, bancos oceânicos e ilhotas, localizadas no mar da China
Meridional. As disputas são caracterizadas por impasses diplomáticos e
emprego de técnicas de pressão militar (como ocupação militar do
território disputado) no avanço das reivindicações territoriais.
Todos, exceto Brunei, ocupam alguma das ilhas Spratly.
