A Study on the Delimitation of the Sea of Japan
ZHANG Weiqiang*
Abstract: Due to historical reasons, State interests, and other considerations, the States surrounding the Sea of Japan have barely delimited their overlapping claims over this sea. Additionally, few scholars have attempted to delimit the overlapping areas under question in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Given this context, the author takes this opportunity to delimit these overlapping areas pursuant to UNCLOS and relevant international maritime delimitation precedents, providing a concrete and plausible delimitation proposal. Key Words: Sea of Japan; Overlapping maritime area; Delimitation *ZHANG Weiqiang, a lawyer with Zhong Lun Law Firm Shanghai Office. Email: zhangwq5@126.com.
