Making it Final and Binding Busy Bees


The Commission is responsible for making recommendations on the outer limits of the continental shelf to States in accordance with the Convention and based on the informa- tion contained in the submission. These recommendations may or may not agree with the limits of the continental shelf submitted by the individual State. In the case of disa- greement between a State and the recommendations from the Commission, the State may – within a reasonable time – make a revised or new submission. When a coastal State accepts the recommendations, it may proceed with establishing the limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 M based on those recommendations, which will then be final and binding.
