ABSTRACT

This note explores the nature of Article 234 of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea in light of decreasing Arctic ice cover. Despite various readings and possible interpretations of Article 234, the principal source of the rules of treaty interpretation is the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The note concludes, based on treaty interpretation, that there are no legal grounds for changing the Arctic regime based on Article 234 in light of the decreasing ice cover in the Arctic.

关于根据气候变化适用《海洋法公约》第234条的注释：俄罗斯的观点

摘要

鉴于北极冰盖的减少，本说明探讨了1982年《联合国海洋法公约》第234条的性质。尽管对第234条有各种解读和可能的解释，但条约解释规则的主要来源是1969年《维也纳条约法公约》。该说明根据条约解释得出结论，鉴于北极冰盖的减少，没有根据法律根据第234条更改北极政权。
