This report examines the law on maritime delimitation under the Law of the Sea Convention (LOS Convention) and the maritime boundary dispute between Norway and the Russian Federation in the Barents Sea. Their differing legal positions will be investigated in light of the historical development of the law on maritime delimitation, as well as recent judgments from the International Court of Justice and other arbitral tribunals since the entering into force of the LOS Convention. In addition, the procedural obligations of Norway and the Russian Federation under the LOS Convention towards finding a solution to their maritime boundary dispute are examined.
