Summary/Abstract |
With the increasing emergence of substandard ships sailing under the flag state's ineffective control and the growing number of accidents that negatively affect the marine environment and the maritime order, port states, coastal states, and international organizations have begun to develop new regimes to increase their control over ships. As a result, the authority of flag states is increasingly being challenged, seemingly calling into question the primary jurisdiction and control of flag states over their ships. The aim of this article is to promote a better understanding of the relationship between flag state, coastal state, and port state control.

Summary/Abstract |
In addition to the function of considering and giving recommendations on the submissions of coastal States on the outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) is also tasked under article 2 of Annex III of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to provide scientific and technical advice to the coastal States in the preparation of their submissions. The legal literature focuses mainly on the function of the CLCS to consider and make recommendations on submissions. This article aims to cover the gaps in literature and addresses thorny issues relating to the nature, scope, contents and consequences of the advice, including the relationship of the coastal State, the CLCS and the individual commissioner providing advice.

Summary/Abstract |
Adequate recognition of the wind energy potential of coastal states may have far-reaching effects on the development of the energy systems of these countries. This study evaluates wind energy resources in Taiwan with the aid of a geographic information system (GIS), which allows local potentials and restrictions such as climate conditions, land uses, and ecological environments to be considered. The findings unveiled in this study suggest a significant role for offshore wind energy resources, which may constitute between 94% and 98% of overall wind resources in Taiwan. Total power yield from wind energy could reach between 150 and 165 TWh, which would have, respectively, accounted for between 62% and 68% of Taiwan's total power generation of 243 TWh in 2007. Based on the Taiwan's current emission factor of electricity, wind energy has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by between 94 and 102 million ton per year in Taiwan, which is, respectively, equivalent to 28% and 31% of the national net equivalent CO2 emissions released in 2002. However, the challenge of managing the variability of wind power has to be addressed before the considerable contribution of wind energy to domestic energy supply and CO2 reduction can be realized.

Summary/Abstract |
It is the first time the full tribunal of the ITLOS has entertained a request for advisory opinion. The Tribunal expounded the legal basis of its advisory function under the LOS Convention as well as the prerequisites for the exercise of the jurisdiction in a particular case. The Tribunal held that the flag State has the responsibility to ensure that its vessels do not conduct IUU fishing activities within the EEZ of the coastal State. However, there are some weaknesses in the reasoning of the ITLOS.

Summary/Abstract |
Centuries of State practice support the position that military activities in the EEZ are lawful without coastal State notice or consent. A plain reading of Articles 56, 58, 86 and 89 and the negotiating history of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) likewise support the position that military activities may be conducted in the EEZ without notice to or consent of the coastal State. Zhang's position on the EEZ exemplifies how Chinese scholars and government officials misuse the law to support China's anti-access strategy in the maritime domain.
