從國際法看台菲漁業談判未來進展

The Furture Prespective of Taiwan-Philippine Fisheries Talks Based on International Law

台灣四面環海，然而隨著國際海洋法制的發展，各國相繼主張二百浬專屬經濟區，台灣與周遭國家相繼發生漁船被扣押之衝突，與相關國家之漁業安排刻不容緩。在2013 年5 月台菲之間發生「廣大興二十八號」漁船槍擊事件，引發漁業衝突，展開漁業談判，最後針對「台菲漁業事務執法合作協議」進行協商。本文主要以台菲漁業談判為核心，從國際法的角度，探討台菲漁業關係未來可能之發展。

As the international law of the sea has developed, States have claimed 200 nautical miles of exclusive economic zones (EEZs). Over overlapping EEZs, Taiwan has faced the fisheries conflicts with neighboring States such as the Philippines. For Taiwan, this challenge pressed an urgent need of certain fisheries arrangements. To build an enforcement mechanism, fisheries negotiations with the Philippines was established upon the Guang Da Xing No. 28 incident in May 2013. This paper compares other signed fisheries agreements between East Asian States. Also discussed are the advances in Taiwan- Philippine fisheries relations and the further development of Taiwan- Philippine Fisheries Agreement.
