Résumé

The boundaries of the Colony of the Falkland Islands are hereby extended to include, as territorial Sea, that part of the sea which is situated within 12 nautical miles measured from the baselines as established by article 3 of this Order, together with the seabed of the territorial sea and its subsoil. Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (2) to (4) of article 3, the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea adjacent to the Falkland Islands is measured shall be the low-water line along the coast of all islands comprised in the Colony of the Falkland Islands. For the purposes of this article a low-tide elevation, which lies wholly or partly within the breadth of sea which would be territorial sea if all low-tide elevations were disregarded for the purpose of the measurement of the breadth thereof and if paragraphs (3) and (4) of article 3 were omitted, shall be treated as an island. "Islands", "low-tide elevation" and "nautical miles" are defined in section 4.
