摘要

Article 76 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea prescribes the procedures to be followed by wide-margin coastal states in determining the outer limits of their extended continental shelves beyond 200 nautical miles. A state that chooses to implement Article 76 must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf that it meets the bathymetric and geological criteria set forth in the Article. This validation process involves only two parties: the state itself and the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. There is no provision for disclosing to affected or otherwise interested third parties the scientific rationale that underlies a given state's proposed outer continental shelf limit, the supporting information at its disposal, or the Commission's reasoning in approving or disap-proving the limit. Nor is there a mechanism that permits other states to lodge formal objections to outer limit determinations that might affect their legitimate interests. Given the plethora of ambiguities that characterize Article 76, it is suggested that this lack of transparency could impair the credibility of the overall process and jeopardize the acceptance of its conclusions by other states. A recommended solution would involve: (a) requiring states to disclose fully and publicly the rationale and the information from which their proposed outer limits are derived; (b) making interested parties privy to the deliberations of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf; and (c) instituting a process whereby affected states could seek clarification of the grounds for a state's proposed outer limits. There is reason to believe that these procedures could be implemented with the approval of the Meeting of States Parties, preferably before the Article 76 process leads to the establishment of outer shelf limits that are "final and binding."
机译：《联合国海洋法公约》第76条规定了边际宽广的沿海国家在确定其延伸的大陆架超过200海里之外的范围时应遵循的程序。选择执行第76条的国家必须向大陆架界限委员会表示满意，证明其符合该条规定的水深和地质标准。该验证过程仅涉及两个方面：国家本身和大陆架界限委员会。没有规定向受影响或其他感兴趣的第三方披露作为给定州提议的外大陆架限制所依据的科学原理，可供其使用的支持信息，或委员会批准或不批准该限制的理由。也没有机制允许其他国家对可能影响其合法利益的外部界限确定提出正式反对。鉴于第76条的特征含糊不清，建议这种缺乏透明度的做法可能损害整个程序的信誉，并危及其他国家接受其结论。一种建议的解决方案将涉及：（a）要求各国充分公开地披露其提议的外部限制所依据的理由和信息； （b）使有关方面不参加大陆架界限委员会的审议； （c）建立一个程序，受影响的国家可以寻求澄清该国提议的外部界限的理由。有理由相信，这些程序可以在缔约国会议的批准下实施，最好是在第76条程序导致确立“最终和有约束力”的外部限制之前。
