<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">The Timor Sea dispute between Australia and Timor-Leste can only be settled with the drawing or delimitation of the maritime boundary. It can be done by negotiation or by submitting to the
judicial umpires. Australia prides itself on settling these matters bilaterally and has done so with PNG, NZ, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and Indonesia, but refuses to do so with Timor-Leste. Australia also removed itself from the judicial umpires, the
ICJ and ITLOS in 2002 on the eve of the restoration of Timor-Leste’s independence. So where does this leave Timor-Leste? What are its options? This begs the question as to why Australia has not wanted to delimit maritime boundaries with Timor-Leste and why
it would remove the judicial umpire.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:14.0pt">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">In this seminar presentation Janelle will canvass these questions, looking at the legal nature of delimitation of maritime boundaries, covering the median line (equidistant approach) and continental
shelf arguments, past agreements with neighbours and if they can bind third party states, and the petroleum political nature of the Timor Sea that guided Australia’s earlier approach and now spills over to its current relationship with Timor-Leste.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:6.0pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:14.0pt">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">It is said by both parties that it is a close and friendly relationship, but it can also be said that it is replete with tension, the major one the lack of the will to draw the line.</span></p>
