Abstract

Abstract: The diversified development of international marine affairs has increasingly highlighted the importance of international human rights protection at the sea.The close relationship between the law of the sea and international human rights protection is not only reflected in the normative expression of legal documents,but also in the settlement of marine disputes involving the application of international human rights law.Based on the value orientation of anti-fragmentation of international law,the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the interpretative rules of international treaties,the application of international human rights law in marine disputes can be logically self-consistent.However,the complexity of international human rights law,the vagueness of the provisions of the UNCLOS and the technical defects of treaty interpretation tools have brought many obstacles to the application of international human rights law in marine disputes.In order to ensure the effective application of international human rights law in marine disputes,it is necessary to clarify the specific connotation of the applicable human rights norms and the legal effect of the provisions of UNCLOS,and improve the interpretation method of "systematic integration" under the premise of "genuine link" and "state consent".Through effective settlement of marine disputes,we can achieve the ultimate goal of human rights protection at sea.

Key words: United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), international human rights law, dispute settlement, application of law, treaty interpretation
