摘要(Abstract)：
中国是最早发现、命名、开发经营和管辖南海诸岛的国家。中国对南海诸岛及其附近海域的主权有充分的历史和法理依据。本文通过总结南海断续线由来和发展的历史经纬,分析断续线的性质和法理依据,从国际习惯法的角度论证断续线是一条历史性权利线。中国在断续线内的南海海域享有对南海诸岛的主权和包括捕鱼、航行在内的历史性权利。历史性权利得到《联合国海洋法公约》的承认和尊重。

- Article 10 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,namely Bay,states that“( 1)this article relates only to bays the coasts of which belong to a single State.( 2) For the purposes ofthis Convention,a bay is a well-marked indentation whose penetration is in such proportion to thewidth of its mouth as to contain land-locked waters and constitute more than a mere curvature of thecoast.An indentation shall not,however,be regarded as a bay unless its area is as large as,or largerthan,that of the semi-circle whose diameter is a line drawn across the mouth of that indentation.( 3)For the purpose of measurement,the area of an indentation is that lying between the low-water markaround the shore of the indentation and a line joining the low-water mark of its natural entrancepoints.Where,because of the presence of islands,an indentation has more than one mouth,thesemi-circle shall be drawn on a line as long as the sum total of the lengths of the lines across thedifferent mouths.Islands within an indentation shall be included as if they were part of the water areaof the indentation.( 4) If the distance between the low-water marks of the natural entrance points ofa bay does not exceed 24 nautical miles,a closing line may be drawn between these two low-watermarks,and the waters enclosed thereby shall be considered as internal waters.( 5 ) Where thedistance between the low-water marks of the natural entrance points of a bay exceeds 24 nauticalmiles,a straight baseline of 24 nautical miles shall be drawn within the bay in such a manner as toenclose the maximum area of water that is possible with a line of that length.( 6 ) The foregoingprovisions do not apply to so-called“historic”bays,or in any case where the system of straightbaselines provided for in article 7 is applied.
