Greenpeace and the Spratleys

Emergency Situation

11th May 2001 Reports that India has been doing some further nuclear tests in Bihar. The Delhi Times reported that some leakage occurred during these testings. A green peace ship was alerted by the situation and directed itself towards India. The Greenpeace ship was in Japan protesting Japanese plans to develop a breeder reactor.

12th May 2001 the Green Ship was passing the Spratleys in international waters when suddenly it was sunk by a missile (the Spratlies are oil rich islands that are claimed by China, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, and Malaysia). The Green Peace ship had French, American, German, and British specialized teams on board.


The Spratleys: Dangerous Waters

13th May 2001 further reports that ASEAN, represented by Singapore, as well as France, the U.S.A, Germany. The U.K and Greenpeace blame China for this catastrophe, and of course China is saying that they are innocent.

14th May 2001 On the other hand, not forgetting that there is also a crises happening in India, Greenpeace sent a ship to India, The ship left from Germany and carried specialized teams from France, the U.K, the U.S, and Germany.

24th May 2001 The ship asked for the authorization from India to enter Indian water, but the Indian government refuses saying that if the ship goes more than one mile within the border the ship will be destroyed.
