外交部抗議日本對我國蘇澳籍 「東半球28號」漁船實施緊追 外交部20180305

【Comment】

如果我記憶沒錯，日本公務船是在執行國際法的 hot pursuit—有執法權力的船隻，對於涉嫌犯罪的船隻（至少不停俥，接受登船臨檢），可以連續、不停止的追緝，直到該船進入領海。

關鍵是：hot pursuit的起始點，是領海、臨接區或EEZ。換言之，海釣船，已經進入日本管轄區域內，甚至於作業。

查證WIKI：

The Geneva Convention on the High Seas was eventually folded into the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Article 111 of the latter treaty grants a coastal state the right to pursue and arrest ships escaping to international waters, as long as:

1. The pursuers are competent authorities of the state;
2. They have good reason to believe that the pursued ship has violated the state's laws or regulations;
3. The pursuit begins while the pursuing ship is in the State's internal waters or territorial waters; and
4. The pursuit is continuous.

If the foreign ship is within a contiguous zone, the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Continental Shelf, the Safety Zones in the EEZ or the Continental Shelf, then the pursuit may only be undertaken if there has been a violation of the rules and regulations (customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations of the coastal state) as applicable in the respective regimes (areas, zones).

The right of hot pursuit ceases as soon as the ship pursued enters the territorial sea of a foreign state.

海釣船，顯然在新聞稿發出之時尚未入港。外交部，最好等事實澄清之後再嚴正抗議。

事後，農委會調閱航跡圖：海釣船二度進入日本管轄海域。

第030號新聞稿

有關我國蘇澳籍「東半球28號」漁船於本（107）年3月3日及4日出海活動遭日本指稱越界作業案，由於日方公務船對「東」船實施緊追直至接近我國領海附近，外交部認為日本做法過當，已於本（5）日中午同步在臺北及東京向日方表達嚴正抗議。

至於「東」船是否有越界作業行為，我國行政院農業委員會漁業署刻正進行查證，外交部也已洽請日方提供具體事證。
