從「遼寧號」再度穿越臺灣海峽探討我國的回應舉措

Discussing Taiwan's Respond to China's Liaoning Aircraft Carrier Patroling around Taiwan Strait Twice

針對中共遼寧號於2013年11月及2017年1月及7月先後行經臺灣海峽，中國大陸對外表示：「臺灣海峽為國際水道…，遼寧號依法享有國際法規定的海上航行和飛越自由…」，呼籲國軍只能監控，不能有其他敵對行動云云。非惟如此，中共戰機飛到海峽中線與我機對峙，亦時有所聞。面對這般情勢，臺灣海峽之法律地位為何？航行臺灣海峽權利究屬無害通過、過境通行抑或自由航行？各有論據。本文將就國際海峽之航行制度做基本介紹，並摘整國際法學者、有關國家的主張，針對中共稱臺灣海峽為「國際海域」之立場，檢視其國際法意涵，以及政府對各國通行臺灣海峽以「廣義無害通過」回應是否適當，最後提出個人之結論與建議。
