The Vagueness of the International Rules on the Continental Shelf

In the first part of the paper the author elaborates the differences between the definition of the continental shelf as contained in the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf and the changes in the definition introduced by the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, pointing out that "the new LOS Convention gives to many coastal States the seabed and subsoil of submarine areas which are beyond the outer edge of the continental margin, and which may belong to the deep ocean floor". The second part deals with the rules of the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention concerning the delimitation of the continental shelf between States with opposite or adjacent coasts, while in the third part the author discusses the delimitation of the continental shelf from the Area.
