摘　　要：中日东海的大陆架争端已成为影响中日邦交的重要因素。东海大陆架不能适用中间线原则进行划界。中间线原则并非习惯国际法规则。大陆架划界的原则是公平原则, 中间线划界需以能达到公平结果为前提。国际公约规定下的中间线划界的前提是划界区域属大陆架, 在当事国为共大陆架的情况下才能采用。国际法院判决表明中间线划界非大陆架划界原则, 而是一种划界方法。在争议区域存在地质、地貌、生态或其他足够重要因素可以决定一条统一的自然边界时理应排除中间线方法之适用。冲绳海槽、海岸线长度、走向以及对油气资源的贡献, 这些因素决定中间线划界方法在中日东海争端中不能适用。The dispute of delimitation of continental shelf in the East China Sea has become an important factor between China and Japan. The principle of medium line can not be a Customary International Law. The equitable principle is the principle of delimitation on the continental shelf, so the equidistance line should essentially demand an ＂equitable solution＂. The principle of medium line can only be used in the circumstance of co-owned continental shelf and the field can be considered as continental shelf under international convention. The decisions of ICJ tell that the principle of medium line is not a principle of delimitation in this fields and it is only a kind of method. In disputed area, if an existing factor important enough to decide a uniform natural boundary which is on geological, ecologic or others, the method of medium line should be superseded. In view of international law, with the consideration of Okinawa Trough, the line and trend of coastline and China＇s contribution to the gas and oil, the method of medium line should not be used in the dispute of East China Sea.
