In response to this Award, this paper briefly analyses the theories and practice of determining the status of low-tide elevations. It aims at answering two critical questions. First, whether the determination of status of low-tide elevations involves maritime delimitation in the South China Sea Arbitration? Second, whether low-tide elevations can be appropriated is an issue concerning the interpretation or application of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea? This paper will reveal that the unilateral argumentation provided by the Philippines is erroneous. Besides, the conclusions made by the Arbitral Tribunal are also fallacious. In addition, this paper will argue that in the South China Sea Arbitration, the determination of status of low-tide elevations will inevitably involve maritime delimitation. Accordingly, the Arbitral Tribunal shall not have jurisdiction over submissions concerning the determination of status of Mischief Reef and other maritime features. Moreover, this paper will argue that the question whether low-tide elevations can be appropriated is not an issue concerning interpreta
