摘要 一旦一个国家决定接受习惯法、公约或其他国际法规定的国际法律义务，它就必须确定其新承担的义务与现有义务之间可能存在的差异，并且最好消除任何和所有不一致之处。日本决定接受《联合国海洋法公约》规定的新海洋法，现在面临着这一需要。本文探讨了 1982 年《公约》对日本的法律效力、批准所需步骤、联合国公约下用于国际航行的领海和海峡的航行制度、日本有关其沿海水域航行的法律法规以及国际和国内制度之间的差异。文章提出了日本消除差距的选择，并评估了所确定的各种替代方案可能产生的国内和外交政策后果。
Abstract Once a state decides to accept international legal obligations under customary, conventional, or other international law, it has to identify possible discrepancies between its newly acquired obligations and its existing ones, and, ideally, eliminate any and all inconsistencies. Having decided to accept the new law of the sea as defined by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan is now faced with this need. This article examines the legal effect of the 1982 Convention on Japan, required steps for ratification, the regime of navigation in the territorial sea and straits used for international navigation under the UN Convention, Japan's laws and regulations regarding navigation in its coastal waters, and discrepancies between the international and the domestic regime. The article suggests Japan's options for eliminating the gaps and assesses possible domestic and foreign policy consequences of the various alternatives identified.
