| Abstract: | The author explores the issues involved in the delimitation, in the event of Scotland gaining independence from the UK, of the boundaries of Scotland's continental shelf in the North Sea. The exploration involves an analysis of the rules of both international conventional law and international customary law, either of which might be applicable, depending on the policy adopted by an independent Scotland. Moreover, since it is possible that a new Caracas Convention on the Law of the Sea will emerge from UNCLOS III, the author also considers the latest version of the draft rules under discussion at the Conference. |
