The revised data on Bangladesh’s limits on the extended continental shelf in the Bay of Bengal was sent to the United Nations on Thursday (October 22). This information was given in a notification sent from the office of the Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations in New York. Ambassador Rabab Fatima, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations, formally handed over the revised information on the continental shelf to Dmitry Ganchar, Acting Director of the United Nations Department of Maritime Law and Maritime Affairs.
On February 25, 2011, Bangladesh submitted key information on the Bay of Bengal to the United Nations Commission on Continental Boundaries. Bangladesh won the 2012 and 2014 verdicts in maritime delimitation cases with Myanmar and India. As a result, Bangladesh’s maritime border with Myanmar and India in the Bay of Bengal was finalized. To implement this success achieved through the international process, the information on the continental shelf in the Bay of Bengal was reviewed.
According to the rules, the UN Subcontinental Boundaries Commission will form a subcommittee to examine the information submitted by Bangladesh and subsequently make final recommendations on determining the continental shelf of Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal, subject to satisfaction.
The documents were prepared by a strong team of local and foreign experts under the supervision of the Department of Maritime Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
