This technique was proposed by the United States delegation at the 1930 Conference for the codification of international law.

La méthode des arcs de cercle, d'un usage constant pour fixer la position d'un point ou d'un objet en mer, est un procédé technique nouveau en tant que méthode de délimitation de la mer territoriale. Ce procédé a été proposé par la délégation des États-Unis à la Conférence de 1930 pour la codification du droit international. Son but est d'assurer l'application du principe que la ceinture des eaux territoriales doit suivre la ligne de la côte. Il n'a rien de juridiquement obligatoire.
