Australia and Timor-Leste Conciliation and Maritime Boundary Treaty

On 6 March 2018 Australia and Timor-Leste signed a treaty delimiting their maritime boundary in the

Timor Sea,1

following years of litigation and the first use of the Annex V Conciliation process under

Pt XV of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.2

While consideration of developments

prior to the conciliation was made in the ALJ last year,3

it is worth referring to what the outcomes of the

conciliation process were in detail and the treaty that came from it, that was not available to the author

of that piece at the time of writing.
