《极地规则》对当代国际法的影响及中国的应对

The influence of Polar Rules on contemporary international law and China’s response

《极地规则》的制定有利于弥补现有立法的不足,通过强制性规范为国家间稳定关系提供解决方法、推动国际海事公法向综合性规定发展。然而,《极地规则》也面临着与当前海事法律存在相悖、执行难度大以及拔高传统适航标准的困境。中国应当基于对北极航道的探索,清晰定位北极事务,在深入研究《极地规则》、主动遵守《极地规则》并对国内法作出相应修改、努力提升航行能力等方面进行充分应对。

The formulation of the Polar Rules is conducive to making up for the deficiencies of existing legislation, providing solutions to stable relations between countries through mandatory norms, and promoting the development of international maritime public law to comprehensive provisions.However, the Polar Rules are also faced with difficulties such as inconsistency with current maritime laws, difficulty in implementation and upgrading of traditional seaworthiness standards.China should, on the basis of exploring arctic shipping lanes, clearly position itself on Arctic affairs, and fully respond to the Polar Rules by studying them in depth, taking the initiative to abide by the Polar Rules , and making corresponding amendments to its domestic laws, as well as striving to improve its navigation capacity.
