Tenor

„For these reasons,

THE COURT,

by eleven votes to six, finds that, in each case

A) the use of the equidistance method of delimination not being obligatory as between the Parties; and

B) there being no other single method of delimination the use of which is in all circumstances obligatory;

c) the principles and rules of international law applicable to the delimination as between the Parties of the areas of the continental shelf in the North Sea which appertain to each of them (...) are as followsː

(1) delimination is to be effected by agreement in accordance with equitable principles, and taking account of all the relevant circumstances, in such a way as to leave as much as possible to each Party all those parts of the continental shelf that constitute a natural prologation of its land territory into and under the sea, without encroachment on the natural prologation of the land territory of the other;

(2) if, in the application of the preceding sub-paragraph, the delimination leaves to the Parties areas that overlap, these are to be divided between them in agreed proportions or, failing agreement, equally, unless they decide on a regime of joint jurisdiction, use, or exploitation for the zones of overlap or any part of them;

d) in the cours of the negotiations, the factors to be taken into account are to includeː

(1) the general configuration of the coasts of the Parties, as well as the presence of any special or unusual features;

(2) so far as known or readily ascertainable, the physical and geologica lstructure, and natural resources, of the continental shelf areas involved;

(3) the element of a reasonable degree of proportionality, which a delimination carried out in accordance with equitable pinciples ought to bring about between the extent of the continental shelf areas appertaining to the coastal State and the lenght of its coast measured in the general direction of the coastline, account being taken for this purpose, of the effects, actual or prospective, of any other continental shelf deliminations between adjacent States in the same region.“
