Practice question
A State properly publicizes and deposits a chart of a claimed EEZ limit. There is a genuine unresolved overlap, and the neighboring State has never agreed to the plotted boundary. Counsel says Article 75’s deposit alone conclusively proves bilateral delimitation. Which is correct?
- Every deposit conclusively binds the neighbor
- Article 75’s documentary steps do not themselves supply the agreement required for delimitation under Article 74.
- A map deposit automatically ends every territorial dispute
- Only the map’s paper size matters
- The neighbor loses every right by the act of publication alone
