    China has militarized the South China Sea, putting local fishing communities and surrounding ASEAN countries' livelihoods at risk. The South China Sea has historically provided economic stability and natural resources for these nations. Greece's delegation argues that China is violating UNCLOS by trying to control all natural resources in the South China Sea and endangering trade routes, and that as China is not exempt from UNCLOS, it must demilitarize the areas outside its exclusive economic zone.

    Fellow delegates and honorable chairman, The militarization of the South

    China Sea by the People's Republic of China has put the livelihoods of local
    fishing communities and the ASEAN countries that surround it in jeopardy.
    The South China Sea has historically been the backbone of economic
    stability for local fishing communities and a reliable source of oil and natural
    gas for those same nations. China is entirely disregarding the other nations
    claims, trying to take control of all the natural resources in the South China
    Sea, and endangering vital trade routes between oceanic states and western
    nations.
    Greece's delegation contends that China is violating the UNCLOS (united
    nations conventional law of the sea) The Hellenic Republic contends that as
    China is not exempt from UNCLOS and should only be permitted to exploit
    areas within its exclusive economic zone, China must demilitarise the South
    China Sea.
