Legal Basis Affirms Sovereignty of the State of Vietnam to the Two Archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa

Historically, Vietnam has experienced many wars against foreign aggression. Most of the ancient national bibliographies in those periods were destroyed by the invaders with the aim of erasing Vietnamese culture to facilitate assimilation. However, only with the remaining main historical documents up to now is enough to prove that the Vietnamese people have had historical sovereignty over the two island districts of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa established in 1982, completely. consistent with the practice as well as international law on the establishment and assertion of territorial sovereignty.
