There exist a number of such claims to extensive bays, gulfs, estuaries etc. around the world which do not come within the normal rules of delimitation of territorial sea baselines but which for reasons of special geographic configuration, national security, social policy and vital economic interests, the coastal states involved consider it necessary to treat on the same basis as national territory...
