ABSTRACT

The paper examines source-to-sea (S2S) systems under international law from the perspective of the community-of-interests doctrine. It positions S2S systems alongside the drainage basin approach, which delimits the Doctrine’s primary biogeographical scope. Community-of-interests is based on the physical unity of a drainage basin, which creates multidimensional interdependence between states, and thereby gives rise to common interests that tend to require catchment-wide joint cooperation. On the basis of treaty and case law, the paper investigates the extent to which the Doctrine, premised chiefly on the basin, may contribute to the sustainable management of S2S systems.

摘要

本文从利益共同体学说的角度研究了国际法下的海源（S2S）系统。它将S2S系统与流域盆地方法并列放置，这界定了该学说的主要生物地理范围。利益共同体是建立在流域的物理统一基础上的，流域在国家之间建立了多维的相互依存关系，从而引起了共同的利益，而这些利益往往需要在流域范围内进行联合合作。在条约和判例法的基础上，本文研究了主要基于流域的该学说在多大程度上可以促进S2S系统的可持续管理。
