海洋科研争端强制调解程序适用问题

On the Application of Compulsory Mediation Procedure in Marine Scientific Research Disputes

海洋科研在科技领域、军事领域以及经济领域等发挥的作用日渐加深,越来越多的国家开始涉及海洋科研领域,产生的争端也越来越多。关于海洋科研的争端原则上适用《联合国海洋法公约》解决争端的一般方式,但其中涉及管辖权的有关争端却排除了有拘束力的强制程序从而适用无拘束力的强制调解程序。但强制调解程序的启动也是有限制的,并且存在强制调解与一般调解的重复使用问题、拘束力等问题。面对这些问题我国在发生海洋科研争端时应该积极启动谈判程序、积极签订地区争端解决机制的协定、积极开展针对海洋科研的法律执法活动等。

Marine scientific research plays a significant role in the field of science and technology,military affairs and economy. More and more countries have been involved in the field of marine scientific research,which brings about more and more disputes. The general way of dispute convention principle is suitable for UNCLOS in the marine scientific research disputes,while some disputes involve the jurisdiction that excludes compulsory procedure binding and non binding for compulsory mediation procedures. Compulsory mediation procedure is restricted,and it is a waste of time and energe to solve the problems with compulsory mediation and mediation in general. In the face of these problems in our country in the event of disputes in marine scientific research,we should actively start the negotiation process,the agreement of regional dispute settlement mechanism,and the law enforcement activities of the marine scientific research.
