Arbitral Tribunal Constituted Pursuant To Article 287, And In Accordance With Annex Vii, Of The United Nations Convention On The Law Of The Sea In The Matter Of An Arbitration Between: Guyana - And - Suriname - Award Of The Arbitral Tribunal
The Tribunal’s Findings
352. As the Tribunal proposes to begin this delimitation process with a provisional
equidistance line, it seems logical and appropriate to treat as relevant the coasts of the arties which generate “the complete course” of the provisional equidistance line.
“The equidistance line is the line every point of which is equidistant from the nearest
points on the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial seas of each of the two tates is measured”, a definition which is itself based on article 15 of the 1982
Convention. In the view of the Tribunal, the relevant coast of Guyana extends from
Devonshire Castle Flats to a point just seaward of Marker “B”, and the relevant coast
for Suriname extends from Bluff Point, the point on the east bank of the Corentyne
River used in 1936 as the mouth of the river, to a point on Vissers Bank.
