UN General Assembly
1968

“The definition of the baselines of the territorial sea of the Philippine archipelago as provided in this Act is without prejudice to the delineation of the baselines of the territorial sea around the territory of Sabah, situated in North Borneo, over which the Republic of the Philippines has acquired dominion and sovereignty.” The “delineation” spoken of in section 2 of the new law is a future delineation which would be made should the Philippines recover Sabah. In other words, if Malaysia agrees to have the dispute elevated to the Court and if that tribunal decides in favour of the Philippines, then a delineation of the new baselines will be made.
