This</p> <p>Article contains two formulae and two constraints. Regarding these constraints, the coastal</p> <p>State can apply, whichever is more favorable to its claim, unless the exception established</p> <p>under Article 76 (6), first sentence, applies. This exception establishes that, on submarine</p> <p>ridges, the State can only apply the 350 nautical miles distance constraint. However, Article</p> <p>76 (6), second sentence, introduces a counter-exception and preserves the State’s right to apply</p> <p>either constraint when the seafloor high is a submarine elevation that is a natural component</p> <p>of the continental margin.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Revista Chilena de Derecho}, author={Lertora Pinto, Francisco}, year={2021}, month={ene.}, pages={873–899} }
