In connection with a dispute between Malaysia and Singapore under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (“1982 Convention”), a five-member arbitral tribunal met on 10 January 2005 at the Peace Palace with the Agents of both Parties and their accompanying delegations. The case, which was initiated by Malaysia pursuant to Annex VII of the 1982 Convention, concerns certain land reclamation activities carried out by Singapore that allegedly impinge upon Malaysia’s rights in and around the Straits of Johor.
