El papel de la Corte Internacional de Justicia y otros tribunales en el desarrollo del derecho de la delimitación marítima

Abstract

This paper analyzes, considering some specific cases, the development of maritime delimitation law in which the International Court of Justice and other courts have played a major role, contributing to the consolidation of this legal process. In the first place, reference is made to the concepts of equity and equidistance, establishing that although the rules are uncertain, the process has meant that equity has begun to generate general norms. With respect to the legal title, we maintain that as the problem of its base has been clarified, distance has become its main expression. What has not yet been sufficiently clarified are the principles and criteria of maritime delimitation; However, there has been progress that has been influenced by the development of International Law.
