Title: The Exit Mechanism of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and China’s Consideration
Abstract: Even in the era of globalization,the supremacy of national interests is still unblamable.As a signatory of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,while maintaining the spirit and carrying out the obligations of the Convention,China should enjoy its entitled rights conferred by the Convention,namely the national interests and strong protection from the Convention.However,the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea came out as a compromise.In 30 years of its implementation,it still shows signs of soft law,even though established a set of new marine legal order.Viewed from China’s island dispute reality,the Convention has come to little avail to the dispute settlement.China’s maritime rights and interests have been repeatedly infringed on by those claiming countries' malicious use of the name of the Convention.This paper intended on the exit mechanism of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the issues related to the reservation of China’s identity of the signatory Party to the Convention and the conclusion is that the positive impacts are coexistent with the negative ones.If the contradictions between China and its neighboring countries become exacerbated further,the denunciation of the Convention is expected to reserve wider treatment space for China.
