“历史性权利”在解决国家领土争端中被援引,多指一国对某一领土的合法占有与控制是伴随历史推进而形成并得到加强的。在南海争端中,中国主张对九段线(U型线)内的南海区域享有历史性权利,而西方政府与学者以历史性权利本身定义的不明确性以及中国九段线(U型线)主张的模糊性为由,对中国方面的合法主张提出抗议和质疑。然而不容否认的是,无论是国际司法判例还是相关国际条约法都是尊重并肯定历史性权利的,明确的历史性权利主张将构成中方南海维权的重要法理依据。
“Historic Rights ” has been invoked in the settlement of territorial disputes in the country and refers to the fact that a country’s legal possession and control over a certain territory is formed and strengthened with historical advancement. In the dispute over the South China Sea, China advocated historic rights to the South China Sea within the JiuDan line (U-shaped line). However, the Western governments and scholars have defined the imprecision of the historical rights themselves and the claims of China’s JiuDan Line Vagueness as a reason to protest and question the legitimate claims of China. However, it is undeniable that both the international judicial precedent and the relevant international treaty laws respect and affirm historic rights. The clear historical claims of rights will form the important legal basis for safeguarding the rights of the South China Sea in China.
