Tóm tắt

Sovereignty of Vietnam over the Paracel and Spratly Islands was early applied by the Vietnamese feudal dynasties. This fact was most obvious in the beginning of the 17th century and lasted until the year of 1932, when the France officially inherited this right and continued to execute the sovereignty over these two archipelagos on behalf of Vietnam. In the Second World War, these two archipelagos were occupied illegally by Japan. But in the 1951 San Francisco Conference, the sovereignty of Vietnam over the Paracel and Spratly Islands was solemnly affirmed by the representative of Vietnam government and was confirmed by the international community in the San Francisco Peace Treaty signed on 8th September 1951.In 1956, the People’s Republic of China occupied illegally the Woody Island (Vietnamese name: Phú Lâm) belonging to Paracel Islands. In 1974, the PRC attacked and occupied the whole Paracel Islands. In 1988, PRC again attacked and occupied three reeves of Spratly Islands. However, thanks to the animus insurance, the sovereignty of Vietnam over these two archipelagos was not discontinued. Since the 17th century, by various effective ways in political, military, law-abiding, economic and cultural aspects, the process of  possessing and exercising sovereignty of Vietnam over the Paracel and Spratly Islands has been developed actually (truly), uninterruptedly, peacefully and transparently.
