The establishment of maritime boundaries between neighboring states is a matter of increasing interest and concern in international relations. Although states have had to deal with territorial sea and other maritime boundaries in years past, the extension of fisheries jurisdiction and claimed economic zones out to 200 nautical miles and the rapid advance in the technology of hydrocarbon development on the continental shelf have created a problem of totally new dimensions. These developments have given rise to many new boundaries between opposite and adjacent states which require delimitation and have made many potential boundaries more important to the states concerned
