【摘要】：由于地图通常能够对确定边界的位置起到重要的证明作用,因而国际法庭十分重视其证据功能。在司法实践中,国际法庭一般会根据个案的情况赋予地图相应的分量,且已经初步形成了一套认定地图分量大小的比较规则。尤其是,随着空中和卫星图像技术的发展,地图的可靠性越来越高,这对于解决当事方领土边界争端无疑具有重要的价值。尽管如此,鉴于地图的来源、比例、技术和专业技能与精度,以及当事方随后的适用等因素,国际法庭对地图作为可采信证据仍持审慎态度。国际法庭在实践中适用的地图分量大小比较规则对解决南沙群岛争端具有重要借鉴意义。体现中国官方意图并长期得到相关争端方默认或承认的U形线地图,对南沙争议岛礁归属的判定具有不可反驳的推定效力,等同于法律权利。
[Abstract]:Since maps usually play an important role in proving the location of boundaries, the Tribunal attaches great importance to its evidentiary functions. In judicial practice, the International Tribunal usually assigns the corresponding weight to the map according to the case, and has formed a set of comparison rules to determine the size of the map component. In particular, with the development of aerial and satellite image technology, the reliability of maps is becoming more and more high, which is undoubtedly of great value to the settlement of territorial border disputes between the parties. Nevertheless, given the source, scale, technical and professional skills and accuracy of the map, and the subsequent application of the parties, the Tribunal remains cautious about the map as admissible evidence. The rules of comparison of map components applied by the International Court of Justice in practice are of great significance for the settlement of the Nansha Islands dispute. The U-shaped map, which embodies China's official intention and has been accepted by the parties to the dispute for a long time, has an irrefutable presumption effect on the attribution of the islands and reefs in Nansha, which is equivalent to the legal right.
