中菲关于黄岩岛领土主权的主张和依据研究

A Comparative Study of the Arguments of China and the Philippines on Sovereignty over Huangyan Island

黄岩岛事件因菲律宾挑战中国对该岛的固有领土主权而起,其主权归属也是菲方试图与中方争辩的焦点。双方在事件发生后重申了各自的主张,提出了本国的法律和事实依据。根据相关国际法和事实,中国不仅拥有黄岩岛的原始主权,该权利还经中国明确表达行使主权的意图与持续、和平、有效地行使主权转化为完整的领土主权,且有效存续至今。菲方无权依据有效控制对抗中国对该岛的既有合法主权,亦无法通过时效等其他任何方式取得该岛的主权。

The recent confrontation between China and the Philippines on Huangyan Island is due to the Philippines＂ infringement of Chinas sovereignty by its illegal law enforcement activities. Territorial sovereignty of the Island is also the key point of contentions between the two sides. After the incident occurred, both sides reaffirmed their claim and clarified their legal and factual grounds. In accordance with international law and relevant facts, China established original title to the island, developed the title into complete sovereignty through continuous, peaceful and effective display of sovereignty, and such a sovereignty exist lawfully up to present. The Philippines is not entitled to claim sovereignty on the basis of effec- tive control or to challenge China~ lawful sovereignty. Neither could it acquire rifle to the Island through prescription.
