LEGITTIMA DOMANDA.
La chiazza di petrolio continua ad allargarsi nel Golfo del Messico, minacciando di arrivare nelle coste della Louisiana; la piattaforma petrolifera affondata, che si chiama Deepwater Horizon, dista circa 80 km from the coast.
But if the platform was near 80 km from the coast was in international waters?
Who was permitted under the conventions to make concessions?
The Montego Bay Convention of 1982, currently in force, stipulates that each State is free to determine the extent of its territorial waters up to a maximum width of 12 nautical miles measured from the baseline (Article 3 Montego Bay Convention). The base line corresponds to the low-water line along the coast, "as indicated by the large-scale charts officially recognized by the coastal State" (Article 5 Convention of Montego Bay) in the case coast is rugged and there are islands in the vicinity of the Convention (Article 7) indicates the specific criteria in drawing the baseline.
