ABSTRACT

The Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC) is well-known for containing a compulsory dispute settlement system in Part XV, which allows most disputes to be submitted to binding adjudication or arbitration. Yet, the ability to bring a claim under the LOSC is premised upon meeting certain conditions contained in the Convention's compromissory clause. This article examines those requirements relating to jurisdiction ratione materiae or subject-matter jurisdiction under LOSC and how they have been interpreted in the recent jurisprudence of courts and tribunals.

界定争端和描述权利要求：《海洋法公约》诉讼的主体管辖权

摘要

《海洋法公约》（LOSC）因在第XV部分中包含强制性争端解决系统而闻名，该系统允许大多数争端提交具有约束力的裁决或仲裁。但是，根据LOSC提出索赔的能力前提是要满足《公约》强制性条款中包含的某些条件。本文探讨了与LOSC属下管辖权或属事管辖权有关的那些要求，以及在最近的法院和法庭判例中如何解释这些要求。
