随着联合国能源署对东海能源报告的出台,中日之间关于东海的海域划界争端愈演愈烈,尤其是对于油气资源丰富的东海大陆架的争夺,更是趋于白热化。对于大陆架的划分,日本认为应当按照“中间线(等分)原则”来划分,而中国认为应当按照“大陆架自然延伸原则”和“公平原则”来划分。本文认为,日本的“中间线(等分)原则”并非国际习惯法,且东海大陆架上的天然地质构造“冲绳海槽”完全符合国际法院相关判例对于“基本中断”的界定,因此日本的划界主张既不符合国际法和国际公约也不合乎情理,应当按照中国的“大陆架自然延伸原则”和“公平原则”来划分东海大陆架。
With the release of the UN Energy Department’s report on the East China Sea Energy, the dispute over the demarcation of the East China Sea between China and Japan has become increasingly fierce. The battle over the East China Sea continental shelf, which is rich in oil and gas resources, is even more intense. For the division of the continental shelf, Japan believes it should be divided according to the principle of “middle line (equal)” and China believes it should be divided according to “the principle of natural extension of the continental shelf” and “principle of fairness.” This paper argues that Japan’s “middle line (equal) principle” is not customary international law and that the natural geological formations on the continental shelf of the East China Sea “Okinawa Trough” are in full conformity with the relevant jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice for “basic interruptions” Therefore, Japan’s demarcation claim is neither in conformity with international law nor with international conventions nor is it reasonable. It should divide the continental shelf of the East China Sea according to China’s “principle of the natural extension of the continental shelf” and “the principle of fairness.”
