Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper will focus on the interaction between the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Antarctic Treaty System, particularly the tensions and interplay between these two governance structures in relation to territorial sovereignty over continental shelves and extended continental shelves within the Antarctic Treaty area. Given the wealth of mineral resources buried within these shelves and the extremely fragile nature of the Antarctic ecosystem, this paper outlines what legal parameters were in place regarding state sovereignty. The submissions of Australia, Argentina and the United Kingdom to the Commission for the Limits of the Continental Shelf will be outlined and contrasted alongside the notes verbales lodged following their submission. Finally, the paper will highlight how the form of CLCS submission of each state could impact their resource management potentials in the future concluding with what suggestions could be made for the yet to be finalised, Chilean submission.

南极区域大陆架:对资源管理的影响

摘要本文将重点讨论《联合国海洋法公约》和《南极条约体系》之间的相互作用，特别是这两个治理结构在南极条约区内大陆架和延伸大陆架的领土主权方面的紧张关系和相互作用。鉴于埋藏在这些大陆架内的丰富矿产资源以及南极生态系统极其脆弱的性质，本文概述了国家主权方面的法律参数。澳大利亚、阿根廷和联合王国向大陆架界限委员会提交的划界案将与它们提交划界案后提出的普通照会进行概述和对比。最后，该文件将强调每个国家提交CLCS的形式如何影响其未来的资源管理潜力，并总结可以对尚未最终确定的智利提交文件提出哪些建议。

期刊介绍： Antarctica and the Arctic are of crucial importance to global security. Their governance and the patterns of human interactions there are increasingly contentious; mining, tourism, bioprospecting, and fishing are but a few of the many issues of contention, while environmental concerns such as melting ice sheets have a global impact. The Polar Journal is a forum for the scholarly discussion of polar issues from a social science and humanities perspective and brings together the considerable number of specialists and policy makers working on these crucial regions across multiple disciplines. The journal welcomes papers on polar affairs from all fields of the social sciences and the humanities and is especially interested in publishing policy-relevant research. Each issue of the journal either features articles from different disciplines on polar affairs or is a topical theme from a range of scholarly approaches. Topics include: • Polar governance and policy • Polar history, heritage, and culture • Polar economics • Polar politics • Music, art, and literature of the polar regions • Polar tourism • Polar geography and geopolitics • Polar psychology • Polar archaeology Manuscript types accepted: • Regular articles • Research reports • Opinion pieces • Book Reviews • Conference Reports.
