Breaking news ! ! BD has gotten 19,467sq km maritime area from India :D

[Indischer]

Hmm no updates in Indian media...

It's not exactly good news for India...so the media will obviously underplay the incident. It should appear within an hour though.

 

[TopCat]

Why quoting Awami thugs who does not have any credibility. Read the judgement yourself .

Dont worry, in a few hours Indian govt will claim that they won it too..

Dirty politicians.

Here is the final award of judgement. Full analysis will take time but here are key points:

1) As oppose to Bangladesh claim of 180 degree azimuth line within and beyond 200 NM EEZ, tribunal awarded Bangladesh with azimuth of 177° 30´ 00˝. Almost same as Bangladesh submitted.
2) It seems Bangladesh retained control of south Talpatti island but needs confirmation.

From Tribunal Judgement (Observation 478)
the Tribunal decides that, from point Prov-3, the adjusted line delimiting the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf between Bangladesh and India within and beyond 200 nm is a geodetic line with an initialazimuth of 177° 30´ 00˝ until this line meets with the maritime boundary established by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to delimit the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf between Bangladesh and Myanmar within and beyond 200 nm.

LOC as border. Why can't you guys accept that?

Even India won't accept that. We do goodwill deals with friendly nations, not with enemies. The only dispute between Pakistan and India is the return of the Indian land under illegal occupation of Pakistan.

Dont worry, in a few hours Indian govt will claim that they won it too..

Dirty politicians.

It is Rail and Union Budget time. This issue will hardly get any mention.

so ? has bd gotten 19,467 sq-km ?

 

[idune]

Indian judge in the panel is so much upset that he wrote his own Dissenting Opinion. And now we can expect indian [URL='http://www.pca-cpa.org/showfile.asp?fil_id=2706']dissenting diatribes here. [/URL]

We can destroy them in a fortnight but then we will get nuked. Might as well accept the reality and be done with it. I want India to part ways with pakistan, they can become a Middle Eastern country or w/e.

what kind of question and analysis is that? That area belonged to Bangladesh to begin with, at no point there was any question of getting it from india. Question is what if anything we lost and that needs further through analysis of almost 200 page document.

 

[StormShadow]

time to settle border issues with all neighbors and focus more on economy and living standards. If pakistan agrees for LoC as IB, then it will be a milestone in the history....else pakistan will be pulling herself back from progressing. Next target should be settling disputes with China.

Like I said before, India will not cede one inch of Indian territory to the enemies no matter what.

as you are a big expert , just to remind you that in this type of arbitration, one party does not get full claim

 

[Contrarian]

Congratulations Bangladesh!

It does seem @BDforever was right all along. BD has won both its maritime tribunals from India and Myanmar.

 

[IND151]

Congrats to BD!
Difference of opinions always happen in between people, international boundaries are no exception. But I love how India, being more "powerful" respected the decision.
@Pakistani people : If the land was disputed and belonged to BD, we are ready to give it back. This should be a good thing!
@Chinese people : Please stop saying India "Lost", this is wrong since we're ready to give it back. This should be more of a case of misunderstanding that should had been resolved peacefully. And it did!

So this is a "WIN" for humanity! And a "WIN" of peace!

Maritime area...............this issue is about maritime area.

we just gave 20k to these bongla deshis.

 

[Roybot]

This is something close to israel by landmass.

It is most probably a addition of atleast 10-15 cities into Bangladesh.Congrats

We are also looking for IOK with ladakh excluded to india

Maritime is the key word here.
