2.2 Baseline for Measurement of the Territorial Water

The normal baseline: the low-water line along the coast (the official charts' mark). The straight baselines: the straight lines joining the coast's points — the conditions (the deeply-indented coast; the fringing islands; the economic-interests' locality justified by the usage) — the Anglo- Norwegian Fisheries case (the ICJ's classic: Norway's straight baselines upheld); the deltas-and- instability faces (the shifting coasts' baselines). The bays' closing lines (2.3's interface): the juridical bay (the semi-circle test; the 24-mile closing-line limit); the historic bays (the long usage's special title).
