(English version) Treaty between the Indonesia and Malaysia relating the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the Two Countries in the Straits of Malacca on 17 Mar 1970

  • Summary

This legal document contains the English version of the Treaty between the Republic of Indonesia and Malaysia relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the Two Countries in the narrow part of the Straits of Malacca signed on 17 Mar 1970. The coordinates determining the "narrow part" of the Strait of Malacca are stated in the preamble of the Treaty. The agreed Territorial seas boundary between the two countries in the said area is a median line between their respective baselines (not archipelagic baseline yet), which constitutes straight lines connecting 8 points. The coordinates of those 8 points are provided in Article 1.2.a of the Treaty.

Notably, besides point 1 (the starting point) and point 6, all other points' coordinates coincide with those of the continental shelves boundary between the two countries agreed in October 1969. For point 6, it is beyond the 12-nautical mile territorial sea baseline of Malaysia, and thus the Malaysian territorial sea boundary goes straight from point 5 to 7, while that of Indonesia goes through all points normally.

(English version) Agreement between Malaysia and Indonesia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelves between the two Countries on 27 October 1969

  • Summary

This legal document contains the English version of the Agreement between the Government of Malaysia and the Government of Indonesia on the delimitation of the continental shelves between the two countries signed on 27 October 1969. The boundary agreed shall delimit the continental shelves of the two countries in the Straits of Malacca and in the South China Sea. The boundary constitutes straight lines connecting points whose coordinates are specified in the document. Chart A, B, and C show the coordinates of points of the boundary in the Strait of Malacca, in the western side - off the east coast of West Malaysia, and in the eastern side - off the coast of Sarawak, respectively.

This Agreement facilitates the exploitation of geological petroleum or natural gas structures extending across the straight lines between Indonesia and  Malaysia. Notably, Article 2 clarifies that "This Agreement shall not in any way affect any future agreement which may be entered into between the two Governments relating to the delimitation of the territorial sea boundaries between the two countries." Nonetheless, the agreement on the boundary of the territorial seas between the two countries took place half a year later in Kuala Lumpur.

(English version) Treaty between Indonesia Singapore relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the two Countries in the Western Part of the Strait of Singapore on 10 March 2009

  • Summary

This legal document contains the English version of the Treaty between the Republic of Indonesia and the Republic of Singapore relating to the delimitation of the territorial seas of the two countries in the western part of the Strait of Singapore signed on 10 March 2009. Specifically, the boundary of the territorial seas of both parties in the Strait of Singapore is extended westward from "point 1", which was the western terminus of the boundary agreed in the 1973 Treaty. The boundary agreed in this 2009 Treaty constitutes straight points connecting three points called 1A, 1B, and 1C, namely westward.

Notably, point 1A (1° 11' 17.4"N - 103° 39' 38.5"E) is measured to locate in between Indonesia's Pulau Nipah (1° 8' 49.9992"N - 103° 39' 24.9984"E) and Singapore's Sultan Shoal (1°14′24″N - 103°38′53″E). The use of Pulau Nipah shows that Indonesia's archipelagic baseline which was legally conceptualized along with the concept of ärchipelagic water" in Indonesia's Act No.6 in 1996 and in UNCLOS in 1985. Finally, point 1C, which is the western terminus of the boundary agreed in this 2009 Treaty is not the adjacent point between Indonesia's, Singapore's, and Malaysia's territorial sea boundary. The extension of the territorial sea boundary of both countries in the Strait of Singapore western to point 1C shall be negotiated by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

(English version) Treaty between Indonesia and Singapore relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the two Countries in the Strait of Singapore on 25 May 1973

  • Summary

This legal document contains the English version of the Treaty between the Republic of Indonesia and the Republic of Singapore relating to the delimitation of the territorial seas of the two countries in the Strait of Singapore signed on 25 May 1973. Noting that the coasts of the two parties are opposite to each other in the Strait of Singapore, the Treaty was concluded with the establishment of a partial territorial sea boundary in the Strait of Singapore. The boundary is constituted by straight lines connecting 6 agreed points, whose coordinates are clarified in the document. Notably, "point 2" of the six points constituting the boundary of the territorial seas of the two countries is located in Indonesia's internal water, and on the line which would be called Indonesia's archipelagic baseline.

The boundary of the territorial seas of the two countries in the Strait of Singapore in this 1973 Treaty would be extended to the western segment of "point 1" in 2009 and to the eastern segment of "point 6" in 2014.
