Abstract
This Agreement between the government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the government of the French Republic moves from the consideration that the relations between the two States in the Caribbean region are based on the principle of good neighbourliness. Having regard to to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), this Agreement delimits the maritime zones of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (the autonomous country of Sint Maarten, and the public bodies of Saba and Sint Eustatius) and the French Republic over which the States respectively exercise their sovereignty, sovereign rights or jurisdiction. The Agreement specifies geographical coordinates for the maritime delimitation, and provides for dispute settlement by consultation or negotiation, in accordance with the International Law.
