Practice question
Two neighboring States’ claimed maritime zones overlap. An official says RA12064 authorizes a private patrol captain to conclusively settle the international boundary by declaration. What does Section12 instead provide?
- Agreement consistent with international delimitation principles, with the stated UNCLOS dispute procedures available if no agreement is reached in reasonable time
- A captain’s personal declaration is conclusive
- The entire neighboring State ceases to exist
- Every overlap automatically creates Philippine sovereignty over all claimed waters
- No international-law principles apply
