Developments in the Technical Determination of Maritime Space: Delimitation, Dispute Resolution, Geographical Information Systems and the Role of the

Author: Chris Carleton & Clive Schofield

Abstract

This second volume of the companion set of Briefings, considers the actual delimitation of maritime boundaries between coastal states. The authors reveal the various methods of delimitation including an in-depth examination of equidistance lines. The Briefing goes on to discuss questions concerning the regime of islands, such as what does and does not constitute an island? The growing use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) applications in the calculation and depiction of maritime space is discussed. Finally, the study explores the avenues for maritime boundary dispute resolution and the role of the technical expert in maritime boundary negotiations. Comprehensive in scope and clearly depicted, these two Briefings take the mystery out of the technical details involved in maritime boundary delimitation.

Note: See also Maritime Briefings Vol. 3 N. 3 for additional information on technical issues relating to maritime boundary delimitation.
