| Foley Hoag Helps Republic of Guyana Assert Sovereignty over Oil- and Gas-Rich Seas in Maritime Dispute with Neighboring Suriname - Unanimous decision by Law of the Sea Arbitral Tribunal ends longstanding maritime boundary dispute, paving way for underwater exploration and drilling by both countries; Foley Hoag’s Paul Reichler served as lead counsel to Guyana; says peaceful resolution is a victory for international law |
Sep 20, 2007 |
|
September 20, 2007
SUMMARY
In a decision that could set precedence for establishing international maritime boundaries, an arbitral tribunal has awarded the Republic of Guyana sovereignty over a nearly 13,000-square-mile swath of the Atlantic Ocean that had also been claimed by its neighbor, Suriname.
Guyana's lead counsel, Paul Reichler, a partner in the Washington office of law firm Foley Hoag LLP, says the ruling, which comes three and a half years after Guyana initially filed for arbitration, fortifies the role of international tribunals in adjudicating sovereignty disputes. According to Mr. Reichler, arbitrated settlements of international boundaries are rare occurrences, despite the large number of disputed maritime boundaries around the world.
