The Tribunal observes that the coast of Bangladesh, seen as a whole,
is manifestly concave. In fact, Bangladesh’s coast has been portrayed as a
classic example of a concave coast. In the North Sea cases, the Federal
Republic of Germany specifically invoked the geographical situation of
Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) to illustrate the effect of a concave coast on
the equidistance line (I.C.J. Pleadings, North Sea Continental Shelf, Vol. I,
p. 42).
292. The Tribunal notes that in the delimitation of the exclusive economic
zone and the continental shelf, concavity per se is not necessarily a relevant
circumstance. However, when an equidistance line drawn between two States
produces a cut-off effect on the maritime entitlement of one of those States,
as a result of the concavity of the coast, then an adjustment of that line may
be necessary in order to reach an equitable result.
