岛屿是国际海洋法中对划界有重要意义的概念,但并不是所有的岛屿都对海洋划界意义重大。在世界范围内,有许多远离本国海岸,却靠近相向或相邻国家的小岛常常成为海洋划界中相邻国家争议的焦点。国际实践当中,常将符合条件的岛屿以飞地的方式进行处理,以解决相关国家对其在国际海洋划界中效力的纷争。 The concept of islands as important for demarcation in international law of the sea does not mean that not all the islands are significant to maritime delimitation. Around the world, many islands away from their own coasts, but close to their neighbors or neighboring countries, often become the focus of controversy among neighboring countries in maritime delimitation. In international practice, eligible islands are often dealt with in the enclave so as to resolve the disputes over the validity of the relevant countries in their international maritime delimitation.
