解决海域管辖争议的应对策略

当今，我国海洋安全形势严峻，海洋权益受到严重侵犯。所谓海洋安全主要是指海洋管辖区的安全；这就首先要明确海疆线。划定海疆线就要解决与相邻和相向国家间的岛屿归属争议及大陆架和专属经济区的划界争议。国际上通常有三种途径来实现公正解决：有关方面通过谈判和相互让步实现解决；通过国际法院的裁决及第三者的仲裁和调停实现解决；搁置争议，共同开发或共同管辖。我认为，中国可参照国际上解决管辖争议的上述三种途径，来解决其海洋管辖争议。

The Strategy on Settlement of Maritime Jurisdictional Disputes

At present,China's marine security situation is grim with its maritime interests and rights being severely infringed upon.China's maritime security mainly refers to the security in the sea areas under its jurisdiction,which requires first of all clear and definite maritime boundary lines.The delimitation of maritime boundary lines needs the settlement of islands sovereignty disputes and of EEZ(exclusive economic zone) and continental shelf delimitation disputes.Usually there are three approaches to achieve a fair and equitable solution: through negotiation and mutual compromise among related parties;through the adjudication by the International Court of Justice(ICJ) and the arbitration or mediation of a third-party;by shelving the disputes for a period and working for joint development or joint jurisdiction among relevant parties in the disputed areas.In my view,the settlement of China's maritime jurisdictional disputes could be dealt with in accordance with the above three approaches.
