Abstract

In January 2017, the Polar Code entered into force and prompted the adoption, in Canada, of the Arctic Shipping Safety and Pollution Prevention Regulations (ASSPPR). The latter incorporate the Polar Code with a view to maintaining or increasing the preexisting level of protection. Consequently, a balancing act plays out in the ASSPPR, which are partly based on the Polar Code and partly on an alternative jurisdictional basis, arguably Article 234 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The objective of this article is to map out and put into historic perspective the balance chosen by Canada in the ASSPPR.

在极地法典和第234条之间：加拿大《北极航运安全与污染预防条例》之间的平衡

摘要

2017年1月，《极地守则》生效并促使加拿大通过了《北极航运安全和防止污染条例》（ASSPPR）。后者纳入了极地规则，以维持或提高先前的保护水平。因此，在ASSPPR中发挥了平衡作用，该平衡法部分基于《极地法典》，部分基于替代性管辖权，可以说是《联合国海洋法公约》第234条。本文的目的是勾勒出加拿大在ASSPPR中选择的平衡并将其纳入历史视野。
