The case law of the International Court of Justice and arbitral
jurisprudence as well as State practice are at one in holding that
the delimitation process should, in appropriate cases, begin by
positing a provisional equidistance line which may be adjusted in
the light of relevant circumstances in order to achieve an equitable
solution (Arbitration between Guyana and Suriname, Award of
17 September 2007, ILM, Vol. 47 (2008), p. 116, at p. 213,
para. 342).
