Abstract
The purpose of the article is to examine implications of the Timor Sea Conciliation for other maritime boundary disputes. The approach involves a textual analysis of the maritime boundary conciliation procedure in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea; critical assessment of its application in the Timor Sea Conciliation; and, proposed application to maritime boundary disputes existing between Korea and Japan, and Korea and China. The Timor Sea Conciliation has provided important lessons for states seeking to resolve their maritime boundary disputes. However, there are diverse legal constraints as well as political issues to consider in deciding on whether conciliation is an appropriate dispute resolution technique to use.
