Decree Establishing the Limit of Territorial Waters
Summary: The decree fixing the limit of Haiti's territorial waters, invoking the sovereign right to establish an economic zone beyond the territorial sea and citing the conventions on the territorial sea, the contiguous zone and the continental shelf.
Full Description
Maritime limits govern fishing rights, seabed resources and the Haiti-Jamaica and Haiti-Cuba boundary questions, so this short decree carries weight beyond its length. Signed 6 April 1972. The corpus previously held its text only inside the MICT compendium.
