2. Particularly relevant in this connection is the Dubai/Sharjah Border arbitration. Dubai had argued that the island of Abu Musa should be confined to a territorial sea of 3 miles because a 12 mile territorial sea would encroach too much on Dubai's continental shelf. The Court rejected this claim, finding that Abu Musa as an island was entitled ‘ex principio to a belt of territorial sea quite independently and separately from either the actual or potential continental shelf claims of neighboring states’.
