Abstract

The maritime domain, largely comprised of international ‘commons’ covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, presents some unique challenges in identifying, much less reconciling, applicable International Environmental Law (IEL) and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) principles. This article posits that the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, particularly its prescriptive and enforcement jurisdictional apportionments to nations relating to the prevention and control of pollution, establishes the peacetime IEL normative framework at sea. After exploring this normative framework, this article furthers the symposium’s overall theme by examining the interplay between this IEL framework and the relatively sparse and sporadic IHL regime at sea. As will be seen, this interplay is largely a question of the extent to which, if at all, these jurisdictional apportionments survive during periods of armed conflict. As such, it aligns more closely with the ‘application process’ for impacting the regulation of armed conflict, in which IEL applies alongside IHL to activities related to armed conflict, than with the ‘interpretation process’, whereby IHL is interpreted in light of IEL.
国际环境法和国际人道主义法在海上的交集
海洋领域主要由覆盖地球表面70%以上的国际“公域”组成,在确定适用的国际环境法(IEL)和国际人道主义法(IHL)原则方面存在一些独特的挑战,更不用说协调了。该条认为,1982年《联合国海洋法公约》,特别是其对各国在预防和控制污染方面的规定性和强制管辖权分配,确立了和平时期的国际环境法海上规范框架。在探索了这一规范性框架后,本文通过研究这一IEL框架与相对稀疏和零星的海上国际人道主义法制度之间的相互作用,进一步推进了研讨会的总体主题。可以看出,这种相互作用在很大程度上是一个问题,即这些管辖权分配在武装冲突期间的存续程度。因此,它更符合影响武装冲突监管的“应用程序”,即IEL与国际人道主义法一起适用于与武装冲突有关的活动,而不是根据IEL解释国际人道主义法律的“解释程序”。
