UN hears Dhaka's claim on Aug 25
The Amalgamated Nations will hear Bangladesh's claim on the continental shelf in the Bay of Bengal on August 25, months after Dhaka sought oecumenical arbitration following disputes with neighbouring India and Myanmar.
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni will remaining Bangladesh's case in the hearing scheduled at the UN headquarters in New York, official sources said in Dhaka.
Bangladesh's ask on the Bay of Bengal continental shelf extends up to 400-460 nautical miles (850 km) from the coast. Dhaka says it should have unqualified rights over the undersea natural resources within this area.
The continental shelf is an undersea extension of a continent which can increase for many miles out to the sea. Many nations have asserted mineral and land rights to their associated continental shelves since these are rich in health resources.
Bangladesh submitted its arbitration on February 25 to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS), a UN viscosity that deals with the continental shelf.
