海洋划界中的“灰区”问题

The “Grey Area” in Maritime Delimitation

海洋划界中的"灰区"一般是指位于划界一方海岸200海里之内又位于海洋边界另一侧的区域。研究灰区要回答海洋划界是否应当避免灰区、灰区内的权利应如何处理等问题。海洋划界结果中出现灰区是不可避免的,灰区权利的转移和保留是处理灰区权利的两种基本形式。灰区问题研究具有多重意义。

A grey area in maritime delimitation is an area lying within 200 nm from the coast of one state, but situated at the other side of the maritime boundary. Whether the creation of a grey area should be avoided and how to deal with the rights in such an area are two major problems that are to be envisaged. It may be unavoidable to create grey areas in maritime delinfitation and the creative approaches of transfer or reservation of the rights in grey area are needed. Grey area study may have multiple implications.
