About this statute
This provision says Law 539 of 1999 approves the maritime delimitation treaty between Colombia and Honduras. The article describes the maritime boundary between Colombia and Honduras by listing geographic coordinates and line segments, including an arc between points 4 and 5 and a continuation along the 16° 04' 15" N parallel. The earlier delimitation does not affect maritime boundary lines that are or may later be established between the contracting parties and third states, as long as those lines do not affect the other party’s jurisdiction under this instrument. The hydrocarbon or natural gas deposit that crosses the established line must be exploited so the extracted volumes are distributed proportionally on each side of the line. Any disagreement between the contracting parties about interpreting or applying the treaty must be resolved through peaceful means under international law.
