Flag state

Japanese: 旗国 - きこく（英語表記）flag state

Under international law, ships are treated as separate units that constitute a single shipping community, but they have their own nationality (→ flag state), which is the flag state of the ship. Based on the flag state's status, the flag state exercises jurisdiction over its own ships and exercises diplomatic protection. The discipline and regulation of its own ships on the high seas by flag states is an important system for maintaining order on the high seas, and this is known as flag state principle.

Japanese:

船舶は国際法上，単一の輸送共同体を構成し独自の単位として扱われるが，独自の国籍 (→船籍 ) を有し，この船籍国が船舶の旗国である。船籍を根拠として，旗国は自国船舶に対して管轄権の行使，外交的保護権の発動などを行う。公海における旗国による自国船舶の規律および規制は，公海の秩序維持の重要な制度であり，これを旗国主義という。
