摘要
群岛问题在海洋法中极为重要，群岛制度也在20世纪后半期逐渐形成。但是，迄今国际社会关于群岛制度的讨论只是解决了大陆国家的沿海群岛和构成群岛国的群岛问题，却迟迟没有对大陆国家远洋群岛的法律地位做出明确规定。而在本世纪，大陆国家远洋群岛问题的重要性越来越突出，其引起的海洋争端必须要有相应的法律制度来解决。因此，本文试图研究这一空白地带，在总结梳理国家实践和国际法理论的基础上，主要分析大陆国家远洋群岛的直线基线划定和基线内水域的法律制度这两个问题，并就此提出一些看法。
Archipelagos are one of the most important issues in maritime affairs. With the gradual development of the archipelagic regime in the latter part of the 20th century,the disputes caused by coastal archipelagos and archi-pelagic States have been well addressed. However,the regime concerning out- lying archipelagos of continental countries remains unsettled. Due to this un-certainty,a number of disputes have arisen, making it necessary to solve this problem. Based on the analysis of state practice and international legal theo-ries, this paper intends to clarify this issue by analyzing the baseline system and the legal regime applicable to the outlying archipelagic waters.
