1898年《美西巴黎条约》等一系列国际条约所确定的,其中无一涉及黄岩岛,更无一将黄岩岛纳入菲律宾领土范围。
历史上,西班牙于1565年侵占菲律宾。1898年,爆发了美西战争,西班牙战败,签署《美西巴黎条约》,菲律宾成为美属领地。1942年菲律宾被日本占领。二战结束后,菲律宾仍属美国管辖。1946年菲律宾宣布独立。在1898年《美西巴黎条约》和1900年《美西华盛顿条约》、1930年《美英条约》中,均明确规定,菲律宾国土位于东经118°以东,而黄岩岛位于北纬15°17′、东经117°51′,在菲国土以西。1947年《美菲一般关系条约》、1952年《美菲军事同盟条约》、1961年菲关于领海基线第3046号法令和1968年菲关于领海基线的修正法令等,都重申了三个国际公约具有法律效力,再次明文规定了菲领土范围、菲领海基点和基线,均未包括黄岩岛。1981年、1984年菲出版的地图都将黄岩岛标在菲领土界限之外。
地理板块构造角度的马尼拉海沟、历史角度的中国早发现早开发等,都表明该岛不应该属于菲律宾。
以上这些史实充分证明黄岩岛是中国领土,而不是菲律宾所捏造的是菲领土。
1898年,美国西班牙巴黎合约的条约线,只是表明菲律宾群岛“位于这个框框之内(lying within the following line)”,并没有表明“这个框框之内全部都是菲律宾的”。
一、美西巴黎条约关于菲律宾领土的界定原文
Spain cedes to the United States the archipelago known as the Philippine Islands, and comprehending the islands lying within the following line:
A line running from west to east along or near the twentieth parallel of north latitude, and through the middle of the navigable channel of Bachi, from the one hundred and eighteenth (118th) to the one hundred and twenty-seventh (127th) degree meridian of longitude east of Greenwich, thence along the one hundred and twenty seventh (127th) degree meridian of longitude east of Greenwich to the parallel of four degrees and forty five minutes (4 [degree symbol] 45']) north latitude, thence along the parallel of four degrees and forty five minutes (4 [degree symbol] 45') north latitude to its intersection with the meridian of longitude one hundred and nineteen degrees and thirty five minutes (119 [degree symbol] 35') east of Greenwich, thence along the meridian of longitude one hundred and nineteen degrees and thirty five minutes (119 [degree symbol] 35') east of Greenwich to the parallel of latitude seven degrees and forty minutes (7 [degree symbol] 40') north, thence along the parallel of latitude of seven degrees and forty minutes (7 [degree symbol] 40') north to its intersection with the one hundred and sixteenth (116th) degree meridian of longitude east of Greenwich, thence by a direct line to the intersection of the tenth (10th) degree parallel of north latitude with the one hundred and eighteenth (118th) degree meridian of longitude east of Greenwich, and thence along the one hundred and eighteenth (118th) degree meridian of longitude east of Greenwich to the point of beginning.The United States will pay to Spain the sum of twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) within three months after the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty.
