360. The Tribunal will now consider whether it has jurisdiction to delimit the
continental shelf beyond 200 nm.
361. Article 76 of the Convention embodies the concept of a single
continental shelf. In accordance with article 77, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the
Convention, the coastal State exercises exclusive sovereign rights over the
continental shelf in its entirety without any distinction being made between the
shelf within 200 nm and the shelf beyond that limit. Article 83 of the
Convention, concerning the delimitation of the continental shelf between
States with opposite or adjacent coasts, likewise does not make any such
distinction.
