(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.
