390. The consequence of these decisions of the Commission is that, if the
Tribunal declines to delimit the continental shelf beyond 200 nm under
article 83 of the Convention, the issue concerning the establishment of the
outer limits of the continental shelf of each of the Parties under article 76 of
the Convention may remain unresolved. The Tribunal notes that the record in
this case affords little basis for assuming that the Parties could readily agree
on other avenues available to them so long as their delimitation dispute is not
settled.
