U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Project Claims parts of the Bering Sea and the Arctic
Read Time:49 Second
The U.S. have, on December 19, very quietly published its new claims on what they consider to be their ‘Extended Continental Shelf’. In that it refers to international law, or more specifically, Part VI of UNCLOS, which deals with the continental shelf.
As required by UNCLOS, the U.S. back up their claim with ‘charts and geodesic data’
The areas that might be of interest and be claimed by others are, of course, in the Arctic and in the Bering Sea. Canada and Russia might have something to say about the US claims there. Let’s have a closer look at these areas.
The claims of the Russian Federation have been documented for years as well at the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS)
Obviously, the story doesn’t stop here. The claims and counterclaims will continue to be filed as new data becomes available.
