海洋环境利益与经济发展利益在国际法上的冲突与协调

海洋为经济发展提供了大量不可或缺的资源,但资源的有限性决定了这种支持不可能是无限的支持。海洋环境利益与经济发展利益之间的对立统一,也反映到了国际法上。国际法在经历了对经济发展利益的偏重之后,逐渐注意到海洋环境利益的重要性,海洋环境利益与经济发展利益在国际法中渐渐得到协调。对于当前提出要转变经济增长方式、大力发展海洋经济的中国,透彻理解国际社会海洋环境利益与经济发展利益的冲突和协调具有很好的启示意义。

Conflicts and Coordination between Marine Environment and Economic Development in International Law

The sea is indispensable for economic development in view of its rich resources which is not unlimited.Such unity of opposites between marine environment and economic development has been reflected in international law.After focusing on economic interest,international law has taken a gradual notice of the significance of the marine environment,which has resulted in the coordination of interests on marine environment and economic development.As China is now changing its way of economic development and embarking on a vigorous development of marine economy,a thorough understanding of the international community’s conflicts and coordination between marine environment and economic development will be inspiring and enlightening.
