The International legal regime to regulate theman-made offshore structures also have evolved and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)acts as a basic international instrument for that purpose. Although the Convention includes more detailedprovisions on man-made offshore structures, there are some legal issues regarding jurisdiction of coastalState on the man-made offshore structures in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or on the Continentalshelf. For this reason, this article begins by reviewing the 1958 Convention on the Continental shelf and theUNCLOS by focusing on the EEZ and the Continental shelf regime governing the man-made offshorestructures. It next examines some controversial international legal issues that have emerged from theregulation of man-made offshore structures in the EEZ or on the Continental shelf. This is followed by areview of the Korean domestic laws regulating artificial islands, installations and structures in the EEZ or onthe continental shelf. Finally, it closes by summarizing the findings of the above examinations, and suggestssome recommendations for future works. Key words : artificial island, installation, structure, Convention on the Continental Shelf, UN Conventionon the Law of the Sea, exclusive economic zone, continental shelf
