Dear All,

You may be interested in this short note published on our blog The Westphalian (http://thewestphalian.com/). You may have heard that on 5 March 2016, the government of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), led by the Polisario Front, deposited with the UN Secretary-General the coordinates and charts of its precise exclusive economic zone (EEZ) claims, taking advantage of a visit of Ban Ki-Moon to Western Sahara. This was an occasion to reflect on some legal issues raised by maritime policies of unrecognized or de facto States.

Your comments are welcome.

With warm regards,

Pierre-Emmanuel
