This article responds to the position adopted by the icc’s Office of the Prosecutor in 2020, that criminal conduct which takes place in the Exclusive Economic Zone (eez, Zone) is in principle outside the territory of coastal states, and is not encompassed under Article 12(2)(a) of the Rome Statute. Having considered the genesis and function of the Zone, and reviewed the law of the sea jurisprudence, the article identifies a tension between the Prosecutor’s goal of reconciling ‘human realities’ and territorial jurisdiction in general terms, and the manner by which the Office has approached the specific question of territory and jurisdiction with regards the Zone. The article proposes that while coastal state jurisdiction over Rome Statute crimes in the Zone was not enumerated in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the exercise of such jurisdiction is not incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty.

本文针对的是icc检察官办公室在2020年采取的立场，即在专属经济区（eez，区域）原则上不在沿海国家的领土范围内，并且不包含在《罗马规约》第12条第2款（a）项中。在考虑了该区域的起源和功能并审查了海洋法学之后，该条确定了检察官在总体上调和“人类现实”和领土管辖权的目标与该办公室的处理方式之间的紧张关系。有关特区的领土和管辖权的具体问题。该条建议，虽然《联合国海洋法公约》没有列举沿海地区对《罗马规约》所涉罪行的管辖权，但行使这种管辖权并不违背该条约的目的和宗旨。
