343. Myanmar states in its Counter Memorial that the question of the
jurisdiction of the Tribunal regarding the delimitation of the continental shelf
beyond 200 nm in general should not arise in the present case because the
delimitation line, in its view, terminates well before reaching the 200 nm limit
from the baselines from which the territorial sea is measured.
344. At the same time Myanmar submits that “even if the Tribunal were to
decide that there could be a single maritime boundary beyond 200 [nm] (quod
non), the Tribunal would still not have jurisdiction to determine this line
because any judicial pronouncement on these issues might prejudice the
rights of third parties and also those relating to the international seabed area”.
