Abstract

In 2010, two years after the establishment of the Joint Commission on Maritime Boundary Delimitation (JBC) by the governments of Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada, a Boundary Delimitation Treaty formalizing the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundary between Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada came into effect. The JBC adopted by Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada is an efficient and economic means of maritime boundary delimitation and therefore should be of great relevance to small States. The success of the JBC was largely dependent on the evolution of the law of the sea in recent years to the extent that both the process and measures for delimitation have been improved or clarified. The political and economic considerations were powerful ones that affected the determination of an adjustment of the provisional equidistance line and the acceptance of the final line as constituting an equitable solution for Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada. Keywords:exclusive economic zone (EEZ); Grenada; JBC; maritime boundary delimitation; Trinidad and Tobago
