#1 Ancient maps located in Vietnam's Quang Tri proince and in the ancient citadel at Hue, noted that the Paracel Islands were a Vietnamese possession. The Islands themselves served as a French foreign legion outpost during the French occupation. The islands were visited quarterly by South Vietnamese troops until they were invaded and occupied by Chinese troops. Why Vietnam has not taken its case to the ICJ is a mystery. Granted the Court isn't worth much, but Vietnam has done little to publicize its historic claim to the Paracels.
