The webinar is part of a new seminar series on "Delimitation agreements, Sovereignty, and Jurisdiction Claims: Current Trends, Recent Cases and Future Perspectives".
About the seminar
Three Arctic coastal States—Canada, Denmark, and Russia—are in the process of delineation of the outer limits of their continental shelves beyond 200 nautical miles (M) in the Arctic. There are major overlaps of their asserted continental shelf entitlements, which could give rise to a maritime dispute requiring delimitation, i.e., the division of the continental shelves between the concerned States.
This presentation will discuss the rules applicable to the delimitation of the continental shelves and suggest delimitation scenarios for the overlapping continental shelf entitlements beyond 200 M of Canada, Denmark, and Russia.
Whereas the scope of the presentation has been narrowed down to the Central Arctic Ocean, the outcomes have implications for the broader issue of the delimitation of the continental shelves beyond 200 M and demonstrate that the existing delimitation methodology of international tribunals needs to be adjusted in cases that exclusively or primarily concern the continental shelves beyond 200 M.
