Is bringing arbitral award before UNGA a wise move? What about Vietnam's militarization of WPS?

SEN. Ana Theresia 'Risa' Hontiveros filed Senate Resolution 659 urging the Marcos government to bring the 2016 arbitral award over the disputed South China Sea (SCS) and the alleged incursions of China in the West Philippines Sea (WPS) before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) this September. Hontiveros presented the resolution for approval last July 26. Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri is confident that the Senate will approve the resolution in the coming weeks. Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and other senators are backing Hontiveros' resolution.
