Law on maritime borders passed
- March 09, 2009 7:39 AM
Philipsburg - The consensus-statute law on maritime borders was unanimously passed last Monday. This law lays down the borders of the future countries St. Maarten and Curacao, and those of the BES-islands (Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba).
St. Maarten points out the historic fishing rights on for example the Saba Bank. This was not included in the law, despite a request from St. Maarten. When St. Maarten becomes an autonomous country, it won’t have the right to claim any oil found on the Saba Bank or near Curaçao. Only the known possessions of the Netherlands Antilles are divided among the future entities. The political affairs commissioner, Sarah Wescot Williams, said that information on the law will soon be available and that laws and other documents were already placed on the website of the Bureau Political Affairs.
