Maldives wins maritime boundary dispute with Mauritius

Maldives' claim for a larger share of the disputed waters with Mauritius is upheld by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS).

Utilizing the equi-distance principle, ITLOS has made a determination to divide the disputed maritime zone between Maldives and Mauritius. However, the implementation of this principle has sparked controversy, primarily due to the necessary measurements that must be taken from Blenheim Reef to Mauritius.
