"Article15

Delimitation of the territorial seabetween States

with opposite or adjacent coasts

Where the coasts of two States are opposite or adjacent

to each other, neither of the two States is entitled, failing

agreement between them to the contrary, to extend its

territorial sea beyond the median line every point of

which is equidistant from the nearest points on the

baselines from which the breadth of the territorial seas of

each of the two States is measured. The above

provision does not apply, however, where it isnecessary by reason of historic title or other special

circumstances to delimit the territorial seas of the

two States in a way which is at variance therewith."
