• Summary

This legal document contains the English version of the Agreement relating to the Delimitation of a Continental Shelf Boundary between Indonesia and Thailand in the Northern Part of the Straits of Malacca and in the Andaman Sea, signed on 17 December 1971. The continental shelves boundary between the two countries in the said area is a straight line connected by 2 points called point 1 and point 2, whose coordinates are specified in the document.

Notably, Article I.2 states that the continental shelves boundary between the two countries in the Northern part of the Strait of Malacca shall be completed by extending from point 1 eastward/southeastward to a “common tripoint” between Indonesia, Malaysian, and Thailand. That tripoint would be established four days later on 21 December 1971 in a Tripartite Agreement between the three countries.
