355. In summarizing its position on the issue of the rights of third parties and
the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, Bangladesh states that:
1. […]
2. The delimitation by the Tribunal of a maritime boundary in
the continental shelf beyond 200 [nm] does not prejudice the
rights of third parties. In the same way that international courts
and tribunals have consistently exercised jurisdiction where the
rights of third States are involved, ITLOS may exercise
jurisdiction, even if the rights of the international community to the
international seabed were involved, which in this case they are
not.
3. With respect to the area of shelf where the claims of
Bangladesh and Myanmar overlap with those of India, the Tribunal
need only determine which of the two Parties in the present
proceeding has the better claim, and effect a delimitation that is
only binding on Bangladesh and Myanmar. Such a delimitation as
between the two Parties to this proceeding would not be binding
on India.
