Abstract

【中文摘要】中国海岛众多，应当制定一部海岛法。制定海岛法是国家对其所属 海岛行使主权的体现。通过制定海岛法，明确所属海岛的法律性质和地位，全面 规定所属海岛的法律问题，这有利于捍卫国家主权和领土完整，有利于维护国家 的海防安全，有利于加强海岛管理，有利于合理开发利用海岛资源，实现海岛经济 的可持续发展，有利于与《联合国海洋法公约》相衔接，有利于发挥海岛在海域划 界中的作用。 【Abstract】China, with a multitude of oceanic islands, shall develop the law on such islands to reflect its sovereignty over the islands under its jurisdiction. Such a law may specify the legal nature and status of such islands and some relevant legal issues, which will help to safeguard the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of China and strengthen its island management. In addition, it will promote the rational exploitation and utilization of island resources and the sustainable development of its economy. Furthermore, such a law will help China to be consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and bring the role of the islands into full play in maritime delimitation.
