Preliminary reflections on the ICJ Judgment in Question of the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf between Nicaragua and Colombia beyond 200 nautical miles from the Nicaraguan Coast (Nicaragua v. Colombia) of 13 July 2023 | by @HildeWoker

https://t.co/8KY699a3lO

[Hilde Woker @HildeWoker]

@Arron_Honniball Exactly! And I wonder what that means for the natural prolongation of a continental state - can it refer to features and scientific data from the 400nm radius around the island to delineate its continental margin/shelf?!

[Hilde Woker @HildeWoker]

Still gathering my thoughts… but it’s hard to believe that this judgment is the result of 10 years of waiting. No delimitation, no overlapping entitlements even (!), and conclusions that perhaps could/should have been reached in 2012 already?

[CIJ_ICJ @CIJ_ICJ]

READ HERE: the full text of the #ICJ Judgment in the case concerning Question of the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf between Nicaragua and Colombia beyond 200 nautical miles from the Nicaraguan Coast (#Nicaragua v. #Colombia) https://t.co/Q8z0444pSX

[Hilde Woker @HildeWoker]

@Arron_Honniball I would have understood if the Court had concluded: yes, overlapping entitlements but one trumps the other. But to negate even the existence of an inherent (!) continental shelf entitlement within 200 nm of another State… bold

[Hilde Woker @HildeWoker]

Not to mention the general PIL issues such as existence of CIL & relationship between state practice and opinio juris as well as procedural issues re dispute settlement (no oral pleadings on matters beyond the 2 questions posed by the Court)

[Hilde Woker @HildeWoker]

It’s a shame the Court doesn’t provide more reasoning for its conclusions, especially considering the possible far-reaching consequences of this judgment (no more grey zones? A third constraint line of continental shelf entitlements? The concept of “a single continental shelf”?)

Today, after nearly 2 decades of efforts, UN delegates adopted the ambitious new #BBNJ Agreement, crucial for addressing the triple planetary crisis, #GlobalGoals, and #KMGBF, including the target to effectively conserve and manage at least 30% of marine and coastal areas by 2030
