Examining the historical record, the Tribunal noted that the Spratly Islands
were historically used by small groups of fishermen from China,
as well as other States, and that several Japanese fishing and guano mining
enterprises were attempted in the 1920s and 1930s.
The Tribunal concluded that temporary use of the features by fishermen
did not amount to inhabitation by a stable community and that all of
the historical economic activity had been extractive in nature.
我大致翻意一下,
1920~1930年代短暫的漁業活動和鳥糞採礦行為只能是臨時性,
而非視為永久居住一個穩定的社會共同體.
這就是這些島為什麼會被認為岩礁的觀點.
