Abstract

The doctrine of constructive presence allows a coastal state to pursue and arrest a vessel on the high seas, even though that vessel may have never entered the state’s jurisdiction. This is because the vessel’s presence can be “constructed” inside the state’s jurisdiction when a connection can be found with other craft, suspected of having committed an illegal act there. This article explores the impact of the Tribunal’s decision in the Arctic Sunrise case (2015) on constructive presence. It shows that the necessary link between the vessels is now found when there exists evidence of participation in an illegal scheme.

建设性存在主义与北极日出奖（2015年）：“计划理论”的出现

摘要

建设性存在原则允许沿海国在公海追捕和逮捕船只，即使该船只可能从未进入该州的管辖范围。这是因为，当发现与其他涉嫌在当地犯有非法行为的船只之间存在联系时，可以在该州管辖范围内“建造”该船只的存在。本文探讨了法庭在“北极日出”案（2015年）中的裁决对建设性存在的影响。它表明，当有证据表明参与非法计划时，便可以找到船只之间的必要联系。
