东海大陆架划界争端国际法依据辨证

An Analysis from the Viewpoint of International Law on the Dispute on Continental Shelf of East China Sea

中日两国对国际公约关于大陆架划界存在适用上分歧.由于东海大陆架油气资源前景看好,双方在此问题上争端日趋激烈.日本主张"中间线"划分法不构成划界的国际法规范,不具备法律效力;中国主张的"自然延伸"原则,不仅是<联合国海洋法公约>明文规定的最基本的客观标准,也是国际司法实践确定的基本规则.

Council Member of China International Relations Association. China and Japan have differences on the application of demarcation of continental shelf based on the International Conventions. Because the vista of oil and gas resources in continental shelf of the East China Sea is promising, the dispute on this issue between two sides became increasingly heated. The 'Central Line ' demarcation way maintained by Japan is not norm of the International Law and is of no effect legally. The principle of 'Natural Extension' held by China is not only the most basic objective norm stipulated by the UN Marine Law Conventions, but also the basic regulation defined by the practice of the international judicature.
