281. With respect to the first argument, Bangladesh points out that it
contradicts what Myanmar said in its own Counter-Memorial, which expressly
acknowledged the doubly concave nature of Bangladesh’s coast.
282. As to the second argument, Bangladesh observes that the only
ostensible jurisprudential basis for this claim of Myanmar is the ICJ’s decision
in Cameroon v. Nigeria. Bangladesh points out that while, in that case, the ICJ
found expressly that the portion of the coast relevant to the delimitation was
not concave, it also stated that “the Court does not deny that the concavity of
the coastline may be a circumstance relevant to the delimitation” (Land and
Maritime Boundary between Cameroon and Nigeria (Cameroon v. Nigeria:
Equatorial Guinea intervening), Judgment, I.C.J. Reports 2002, p. 303, at
p. 445, para. 297).
