Abstract

Both Art. 12 of the TSC(1958) and Art. 15 of the LOSC make reference to "historic title" as a reason for departing from the general rule for delimitation of a territorial sea between States, namely, failing agreement, a median line; but no mention is made of such a proviso in respects of either delimitation of overlapping EEZs or continental shelves. For example, in Tunisia/Libya, Tunisia pleaded it had historic rights from past sedentary fishing activities. The relevance of claimed historic rights to maritime delimitation of expanded maritime zones such as the continental shelf remains somewhat unclear in the light of the above caselaw, though State practice in recent times suggests that historic rights, even if considered irrelevant to delimitation issues, may still be independently taken into account by special agreement as to access. Undoubtedly, some past continental shelf delimitations have taken into account historic claims in negotiating a maritime boundary.Keywords: continental shelves; EEZ; fishing activities; historic rights; LOSC; maritime boundary; maritime delimitation; maritime zones; territorial sea
历史性权利与海洋区域划界
《海洋法公约》(1958年)第12条和《海洋法公约》第15条都提到“历史性所有权”作为偏离国家间领海划界一般规则的理由,即,如无协议,则以中间线为界;但在划定重叠专属经济区和大陆架问题上均未提及这一附带条款。例如,在突尼斯/利比亚,突尼斯辩称,它从过去的定居捕鱼活动中获得了历史性权利。根据上述判例法,所主张的历史性权利与诸如大陆架等扩大的海洋区域的海洋划界的相关性仍然有些不清楚,尽管最近的国家实践表明,即使被认为与划界问题无关的历史性权利,仍然可以通过特别协定独立考虑。毫无疑问,过去的一些大陆架划界在海洋边界谈判中考虑到了历史主张。关键词:大陆架;专属经济区;钓鱼活动;历史性权利;公法;海上边界;海上划界问题;海上区域;领海
