南极地区大陆架划界引发的法律制度碰撞
CONFLICTS OF LEGAL SYSTEMS INDUCED BY THE DELIMITATION OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF IN THE ANTARCTIC REGION
摘要
Abstract
The Antarctic has been under the restriction of Antarctic Treaty System, which includes Antarctic Treaty as its core agreement and other related agreements, since Antarctic Treaty took effect in 1961. Nevertheless, the 1982 U-nited Nations Convention on the Law of Sea (UNCLOS, hereafter referred to as the Convention) established the legal regime for the continental shelf and requested a study into the coastal state of the shelf to complete the delineation of the outer limits of the shelf beyond 200 nautical miles within 10 years of the ratification of the convention. Since the Convention entered into force in 1994, Australia, Norway, Argentina and the United Kingdom have successively and individually claimed their sovereign rights over the continental shelves in the south of 60°S, namely the Antarctic region. With such background, the paper assesses the continental-shelf submissions and preliminary information provided by seven countries claiming territorial sovereignty or sovereign rights to the Antarctic region, and reviews the considerations and recommendations of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS). Following the above analysis, the paper scrutinizes the legal basis for continental shelf claims to the Ant-arctic region, and investigates conflicts between the Antarctic Treaty System and the Convention. Additionally, the paper discusses the trend of legal regime development regarding the Antarctic region.关键词
