Abstract

This Decree of the President of the Republic delimits the boundaries of the exclusive economic zone of Lebanon. The exclusive economic zone is situated beyond the territorial sea and includes the whole of the contiguous zone, extending towards the high seas, measured from the baseline in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. As needed, and in the light of negotiations with the relevant neighbouring States, the borders of the exclusive economic zone may be refined and improved and, consequently, the list of its coordinates amended, if more precise data becomes available.
