Please changed my e-mail to [log in to unmask] Thank you so much. William Jeffery Brown From: John Robert Victor Prescott <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: John Robert Victor Prescott <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 12:46:22 +1000 Dear Colleagues, I wonder whether someone with a legal bent might be able to answer the following question? Rule 51 of the Rules of Procedure [Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, 1998]notes that the recommendations of the Commission regarding an application from a state will be submitted in writing to the Secretary-General and to the claimant state. Are those recommendations then made public? The reason for asking this is that only with knowledge of the recommendations can a third party judge whether the boundary proclaimed by the coastal state rests 'on the basis of these recommendations' [Article 76 (8)]. The Commission itself does not seem to have the power to make such an assessment. If this point has already been dealt with in the literature I apologise for not having encountered it. Sincerely, Victor Prescott JRV and DF Prescott 44,Lucas Street, East Brighton Victoria 3187 AUSTRALIA Phone 61 3 9592 5156 Fax 61 3 9593 1624 _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
