There has been no unified conclusion on the legal status of the Northern sea channel in the world.In addition,this channel may be navigable throughout the year in the future,and its economic value is gradually highlighted.As a rising developing country,China is the largest in the world,whether it is scientific research trips,or business negotiations,will often come and go in this waterway.The legal system and policies issued by Russia for the Northern sea channel are in many places contrary to international law,The lack of ideology also restricts the harmonious development of this region.The purpose of this paper is to promote the establishment of a more perfect legal system of the Northern sea channel on the one hand,and to provide reasonable and constructive suggestions for China’s use of the northern sea channel on the other hand.Using the methods of literature analysis and comparative research,this paper first analyzes the basis of the theoretical dispute on the legal status of the Northern sea channel,and then combs in detail the Russian control measures on the northern sea channel in terms of management and legislation in the era of tsarist Russia,for example,a number of laws were enacted to establish the status of the northern sea route,then it focuses on the conflict between these control measures and international law,for example,the conflict between selective compulsory fees and the innocent passage system,the extension of Russia’s domestic law on the "Arctic exception" in the Law of the sea,etc.Finally,it comes to the conclusion that we should establish a more perfect and reasonable legal system from the perspective of international law and explore the joint development and utilization of the northern sea channel in an equal and peaceful way. |
