Bangladesh submits that “St. Martin’s Island is as much in front of the
Bangladesh coast as it is in front of Myanmar’s coast” and states that the case
law supports this view. In this regard Bangladesh notes that Myanmar
describes the French island of Ushant as being located in front of the French
coast, when in fact Ushant lies 10 miles off France’s Brittany coast, further
than St. Martin’s Island is from Bangladesh, and observes moreover that the
Scilly Isles are 21 miles off the United Kingdom coast.
