Abstract

This study explores the passage regimes of the Kerch Strait and its adjacent maritime areas in the context of current arbitration proceedings between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. It ascertains that conflicting sovereignty claims over Crimea might lead to strait states and user states alike retaining their different approaches to the passage regime of the Kerch Strait. Thus, the regimes of transit passage and authorization-based passage might simultaneously be applied to the Kerch Strait under the domestic laws of the strait states, law of the sea, and general international law, particularly the obligation of nonrecognition. The law of the sea allows the reconciliation of such conflicting approaches and ensures legal certainty in the shipping lanes of the Kerch Strait if the coastal states agree on and respect a sui generis passage regime.

摘要

这项研究在乌克兰和俄罗斯联邦之间的当前仲裁程序的背景下，探讨了刻赤海峡及其附近海域的通过制度。它确定了对克里米亚的主权要求的冲突可能导致海峡两岸国家和使用者国都保留其对刻赤海峡通过制度的不同态度。因此，过境通行和基于授权的通行制度可能根据海峡州的国内法，海洋法和一般国际法，特别是不承认的义务，同时适用于刻赤海峡。海洋法允许和解这些冲突的方法，并确保如果沿海国同意并尊重沿海地区，则在刻赤海峡的航道上具有法律上的确定性。特殊的通过制度。
