MARITIME DISPUTE
(PERU v. CHILE)
Geography  Historical background  1929 Treaty of Lima between Chile and Peru 
1947 Proclamations of Chile and Peru  Twelve instruments negotiated by Chile, Ecuador and
Peru.
*
No international maritime boundary established by 1947 Proclamations  No shared
understanding of the Parties concerning maritime delimitation  Necessity of establishing the
lateral limits of their maritime zones in the future.
1952 Santiago Declaration is an international treaty  Rules of interpretation  No
express reference to delimitation of maritime boundaries  Certain elements relevant however to
maritime delimitation  Ordinary meaning of paragraph IV  Maritime zones of island
territories  Scope of 1952 Santiago Declaration restricted to agreement on limits between
certain insular maritime zones and zones generated by continental coasts  Object and
purpose  Supplementary means of interpretation confirm that no general maritime delimitation
was effected by 1952 Santiago Declaration  Suggestion of existence of some sort of a shared
understanding of a more general nature concerning maritime boundaries  1952 Santiago
Declaration did not establish a lateral maritime boundary between Chile and Peru along the
parallel. - 2 -
1954 Agreements  Complementary Convention to 1952 Santiago Declaration  Primary
purpose to assert signatory States’ claims to sovereignty and jurisdiction made in 1952 
Agreement relating to Measures of Supervision and Control of Maritime Zones  No indication as
to location or nature of maritime boundaries  Special Maritime Frontier Zone Agreement  Not
limited to the Ecuador-Peru maritime boundary  Delay in ratification without bearing on scope
and effect of Agreement  Acknowledgment of existence of an agreed maritime boundary  Tacit
agreement  Tacit agreement cemented by 1954 Special Maritime Frontier Zone Agreement 
No indication of nature and extent of maritime boundary  1964 Bazán Opinion  Conclusion of
the Court as to the existence of an agreed maritime boundary not altered.
1968-1969 lighthouse arrangements  Limited purpose and geographical scope  No
reference to a pre-existent delimitation agreement  Arrangements based on presumed existence
of a maritime boundary extending along parallel beyond 12 nautical miles  No indication of
extent and nature of maritime boundary.
Nature of agreed maritime boundary  All-purpose maritime boundary.
Extent of agreed maritime boundary  Assessment of relevant practice of the Parties
pre-1954  Fishing potential and activity  Species taken in the early 1950s were generally to be
found within a range of 60 nautical miles from the coast  Orientation of the coast  Location of
main ports in the region  Zone of tolerance along the parallel for small fishing boats 
Principal fishing activity carried out by small boats  Fisheries activity, in itself, not
determinative of extent of the boundary  Parties however unlikely to have considered the agreed
maritime boundary to extend to 200-nautical-mile limit  Contemporaneous developments in the
law of the sea  State practice  Work of the International Law Commission  Claim made in
1952 Santiago Declaration did not correspond to the international law of that time  No evidence
to conclude that the agreed maritime boundary along parallel extended beyond 80 nautical miles.
Assessment of relevant practice of the Parties post-1954  Legislative practice of the
Parties  1955 Protocol of Accession to 1952 Santiago Declaration  Enforcement activities 
1968-1969 lighthouse arrangements  Negotiations with Bolivia (1975-1976)  Positions of the
Parties at Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea  1986 Bákula
Memorandum  Practice after 1986  No basis to put into question the Court’s earlier
conclusion.
In view of entirety of relevant evidence presented to the Court, agreed maritime boundary
between the Parties extends to a distance of 80 nautical miles along the parallel.
* - 3 -
Starting-point of the agreed maritime boundary  1929 Treaty of Lima  The Court not
asked to determine location of starting-point of land boundary identified as “Concordia” 
Boundary Marker No. 1  1968-1969 lighthouse arrangements serve as compelling evidence that
the agreed maritime boundary follows the parallel that passes through Boundary Marker No. 1 
Point Concordia may not coincide with starting-point of maritime boundary  Starting-point of
maritime boundary identified as the intersection of the parallel of latitude passing through
Boundary Marker No. 1 with the low-water line.
*
Delimitation to be effected beginning at endpoint of agreed maritime boundary (Point A) 
Method of delimitation  Three-stage procedure.
First stage  Construction of a provisional equidistance line starting at Point A 
Determination of base points  Provisional equidistance line runs until intersection with the
200-nautical-mile limit measured from Chilean baselines (Point B).
Peru’s second final submission moot  No need for the Court to rule thereon.
Course of the maritime boundary from Point B  Boundary runs along the
200-nautical-mile limit measured from the Chilean baselines until intersection of the
200-nautical-mile limits of the Parties (Point C).
Second stage  Relevant circumstances calling for an adjustment of the provisional
equidistance line  No basis for adjusting the provisional equidistance line.
Third stage  Disproportionality test  Calculation does not purport to be precise  No
evidence of significant disproportion calling into question equitable nature of provisional
equidistance line.
*
Course of the maritime boundary  Geographical co-ordinates to be determined by the
Parties in accordance with the Judgment.
