DPRK-ROK MARITIME BOUNDARY IN THE YELLOW (WEST) SEA: FROM THE SOURCE OF CONFLICTS TO THE ZONE OF COOPERATION
Journal Title: Asia-Pacific Journal of Marine Science&Education - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea, initially drawn as a line for preventing conflicts between DPRK and ROK now turned into source of conflicts. NLL was drawn unilaterally, was not legally provided and even breaches UNCLOS. Controversial status of NLL causes conflicts and military clashes in disputed waters, followed by military buildup by both countries. In order to prevent the area from becoming another “hot spot” urgent measures are needed. Considering current relations between DPRK and ROK, the issue cannot be settled at once. The only possible way to solve the problem is the negotiation process between two countries aimed to improving relations between them and reviving peaceful projects and agreements reached in 2007. As the problem of maritime boundary between DPRK and ROK is closely connected with security of the whole Northeast Asian region, all countries neighboring both Koreas should also contribute to solving problem.
