Regarding the incident in Kinmen
waters on February 14, 2024:
It is essential to recognize that Kinmen and Matsu lie within the waters delineated by China's territorial baseline, as per the tenets of sovereignty and jurisdiction, or internal waters, established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Consequently, these waters fall under Chinese territorial sovereignty, encompassing both territorial seas and waters. However, it is acknowledged that Taiwan exercises effective control over these areas. Notably, under UNCLOS, Taiwan cannot unilaterally demarcate baselines or claim the full rights associated with territorial waters. In lieu of this, Taiwan establish "restricted or prohibited water areas and restricted zones," subject to existing power dynamics and mutual understandings. This specific issue is demonstrably fraught with political sensitivity.
The recent incident, initiated by China with no doubt, carries significant
political weight. Resolving this situation necessitates negotiation and
compromise on both sides. However, the claim by Taiwanese authorities that
Taiwanese vessels are not obligated to obey orders from the China Coast Guard
or other Chinese law enforcement agencies presents a potential complication. By
issuing such an "order," the Taiwan Ocean Affairs Council may
inadvertently provide legal grounds for China to argue that their vessels are
similarly exempt from complying with Taiwanese law enforcement directives.
In conclusion, it is imperative to approach cross-border matters with due
diligence and recognize the intricate legal and political considerations
involved.
正如20240214 金門水域事件,主權與管轄權所言,金門與馬祖是位於中國領海基線內的水域,中國的領土與領海,台灣有效管轄,所以台灣無法劃定基線與主張領海等,只能設立「限制或禁止水域及限制區域」,政治上非常敏感。
此事當然是中國主動生事端,但是此事政治性很強,總要協商與妥協,但台灣這邊主管機關聲稱台灣船隻不需要聽從中國執法機關的命令,這可是會出事的。海委會如此「命令」,等於反向給中國法理證據,中國船隻無須遵從台灣方面的執法命令。
跨境事務畢竟不能喊爽就好。
管碧玲1句話陷人民於危險?前大使轟:義和團所屬海委會 中時 20240221
金門觀光船19日遭大陸海警強制登檢,兩岸金廈海域緊張情勢升溫。海委會主委管碧玲20日在立法院受訪時表示,對陸方登檢傷害人民情感表達遺憾,未來我方船舶若遇大陸海警登檢,可依據標準程序不停留或轉彎避開,並第一時間通知海巡協助。前駐紐西蘭代表介文汲20日在《盧秀芳辣晚報》節目強調,沿岸方有行政管轄權,有權要所有船隻接受檢查。管碧玲可說犯了陷人民於危險之罪,海委會也淪為「義和團海委會」。
「我覺得管碧玲跟那個交通部的港務局長,如果有一個新的罪名,那應該叫:陷人民於危險之罪!」介文汲表示,「他們這種做法的話,很少國家會建議他們人民這樣做的!因為那個水域是屬於管制、又禁止的界線,要知道這個鄰接區水域的話,沿岸方是享有行政管轄權的。那在領海的範圍,那是完全的主權、百分之百的主權,百分之百的屬地主義,你只要進入我這個水域的話,你就屬於我管轄,不管你是什麼人。」
介文汲指出,可是在鄰接區,一般來講12海浬到24海浬,沿岸是有行政管轄權,所以他如果要行使比如說海關、漁業、環境保護,沿岸國的這些法令的時候,他是有權力要所有的船隻都接受他的檢查。
「所以我搞不清楚,管碧玲跟這個港務局長,怎麼會讓我們的人民做這種決定?」介文汲直言,「事實上我覺得管碧玲,跟這個交通部的航港局長:義和團所屬海委會!然後義和團所屬港務局局長!因為他是一種『陷人民於危險之罪』!」
