对大陆架划界的几个问题的思考

体现了公平原则的《联合国海洋法公约》第56条第3款的规定对大陆架划界具有指导意义;第83条不是对协商原则的认定,公平原则是大陆架划界的基本原则,其他的原则、方法,只有在符合公平原则的基础上才能得以适用;单方声明不能对抗条约,东海地理地貌的特殊性,决定了中日大陆架划界不论采用协商方式还是司法方式解决,均不能采用中间线划界法。

Reflection on Issues of Delimitation of Continental Shelf

Article 56(3) of the UNCLOS embodying the equitable principle makes a guidance on how to delimitate the continental shelf.Article 83 does not affirm the principle of consultation.Equitable principle is the fundamental principle of delimitation of continental shelf;other principles or methods can be adopted only when they are in accordance with the equitable principle.Declarations made by way of unilateral acts cannot defend treaties.No matter by consultative or judicial way to settle the delimitation of the continental shelf between China and Japan,method of medium-line can not be adopted because of the special geography circumstances in East Sea.
