孙中山与不平等条约概念

Sun Yat-sen and the Concept of Unequal Treaties

17— 18世纪 ,不平等条约概念曾经为西方国际法的经典作家们所讨论 ,但是在 19世纪被遗忘。2 0世纪以后不平等条约概念的复活 ,是从中国开始的。 190 6年 ,以孙中山为首的同盟会革命党人 ,在深刻理解国家主权平等原则的基础上 ,提出不平等条约概念。第一次世界大战之后 ,国家主权平等原则在一定程度上得到弘扬 ,带动了中国人使用不平等条约概念。不平等条约概念真正在中国广泛使用 ,是在国民革命兴起的过程中 ,而孙中山在其中发挥了至为关键的作用。不平等条约概念是孙中山留给 2 0世纪中国的一笔重要的遗产。

This article shows Sun Yat sen's leading role in the evolution of the concept of unequal treaties in Chinese history. Based on the their knowledge and understanding of international law and the principle of sovereign equality, Sun and his colleagues first used the term “unequal treaties” in an article in 1906. From 1923 to 1925, Sun advocated an abolishment of unequal treaties in his Declarations and Lectures. Since 1925, the term “unequal treaties” has been popular in China.
