Abstract

African broad shelf States, like other broad shelf States in other parts of the world, are required under Article 76 of the LOSC to make submissions in respect of their continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles to the Commission on Limits of Continental Shelf (CLCS) within a particular time period. For a number of such States the compliance with this obligation is a burden. This article seeks to explore the difficulties faced by African broad shelf States in complying with their obligation under Article 76 and possible assistance available to these States to enable them comply with this obligation.
