本文分析國際海洋法法庭（ITLOS）於2024年5月發布之第31號案諮詢意見，探討國家防止氣候變遷危害海洋環境之法律義務。該諮詢意見由小島國家氣候變遷與國際法委員會提出，由ITLOS確認人為溫室氣體排放構成《聯合國海洋法公約》下的「海洋環境污染」，各國有義務採取必要措施防止、減少和控制此類污染。本文首先介紹該諮詢意見背景及主要論點，分析ITLOS對於義務性質、海洋污染定義、具體措施等議題的解釋立場。研究發現，ITLOS雖然將相關義務定性為「行為義務」而非「結果義務」，但同時也確立國家對於..

This paper analyzes Advisory Opinion (Case No. 31) issued by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in May 2024, examining states’ legal obligations to prevent climate change-induced harm to the marine environment. The advisory opinion, requested by the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change and International Law, confirms that greenhouse gas emissions constitute “pollution of the marine environment” under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, obligating states to take necessa..

隨著國際社會議題的多樣與複雜，解決各種國際議題不再單靠各國政府，加上民間團體的行為者崛起，政府如何與其互動與合作，共同解決受援國長期發展的結構性問題，則顯得越來越重要。理論上，NGO與政府之間若能有清楚分工及相互接受其角色，應可以建立一種相互增強的關係。但實際觀察卻發現，由於NGO的理想性高，加上若經費自主，就容易與政府保持距離並保持警戒，故雙方在國際援助議題上未必形成協力關係，甚至可能產生對立。     研究發現，以日本為例，影響該國NGO與政府協..

With the diversity and complexity of international issues, resolving international issues no longer rely on individual government entity. As civil society raises, how government cooperates with the civil society to resolve long-term constructive international problems has become more and more important. Theoretically, should non-governmental organizations (NGO) and the government have clear work scope and accept their roles, a mutual enhanced relationship can be built. However, NGOs are ideal in reality. And with self-sustained budget, NGOs..

非傳統安全指的是除了戰爭外其他會威脅到國家安全的議題，在全球化的局勢下這些議題的重要性與日俱增，然而文獻上少有對這個國際關係的第三大次領域系統性的整理，本文討論非傳統安全的三大重要主題—能源安全、環境議題、恐怖主義，以及其他議題如糧食安全、移民與難民議題、跨國犯罪、以及傳染病，除了回顧相關文獻並探討其趨勢外，本文認為非傳統安全的議題仍不斷在擴充中，並點出全球化下科技在這些議題中扮演的重要角色。

Non-traditional security (NTS) issues refer to any issues other than wars that will threaten national security. The importance of NTS issues has been increasing as globalization has accelerated. The literature, however, lacks a systematic review of NTS research, which is arguably the third largest subfield in international relations. This paper focuses on three major NTS issues—energy security, environmental issues, and terrorism, and also briefly discusses other NTS issues, including food security, migration and refugees, transnation..
