4.2 Delimitations

The shelf's delimitation between neighbouring states: the UNCLOS's rule — the agreement on the basis of international law to achieve an equitable solution; the case law's craft (Unit 2.4's same line): the North Sea Continental Shelf (the natural prolongation + the equitable principles; the equidistance not automatic); the Libya/Malta and the subsequent consolidation (the provisional- equidistance-and-relevant-circumstances method); the islands', the coastline's and the proportionality's factors; the single-maritime-boundary practice (the EEZ-and-shelf line together).
