...claim an exclusive zone extending 200 nautical mi. (370 km) from their coast. "When countries have overlapping claims," says Nuno Antunes, East Timor's legal adviser, "the best settlement is to be found in international law." Citing 75 precedents, he says equidistance is the key principle. But a median line would put all the petroleum reserves on Timor's side. Australia argues that the contours of the seabed are unique.
