Myanmar submits that Myanmar’s May Yu Island and Bangladesh’s
St. Martin’s Island “must be eliminated as sources of base points”. Myanmar
acknowledges that both features are legitimate sources of normal baselines
for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea, and both would otherwise
have provided the nearest base points, that is, the relevant base points, for
the construction of the provisional equidistance line. Myanmar, however,
concludes that “the technical qualities of these features cannot overcome their
legal deficiencies”.
