Etiketa erantsi | Gaia: | This research is a topical issue in the national context with international repercussions, focus on State policy and targets. This research is closely linked to the interest of Ecuador to extend its maritime territory and perform its sovereign rights over living and non-living resources which are on the continental platform. In addition, it relates to the national security objectives. The political and diplomatic relations between Ecuador and Costa Rica about maritime issues were introduced thirty years after the first attempt failed maritime agreement. These relations were established with the signing of a new "Maritime Delimitation Agreement", in April, 2014. This allowed to Ecuador to close definitively its maritime borders and make way for new bilateral agreements, thus generating new processes of cooperation between Ecuador and Costa Rica. Actually, Ecuador and Costa Rica have been adhere to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS, being beneficial owners of its provisions, especially, in the extension of their continental platforms beyond 200 nautical miles. However, both States have to demonstrate the existence of a natural extension in the Carnegie Ridge, located in the Galapagos Islands and Cocos Island in Costa Rica. Both countries must justify with legal, technical, geological, geophysical and geomorphological studies, these reports, which are essential to get the final and binding decision by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Platform of the United Nations. Finally, extending the Continental Platform will allow Ecuador to recognize to the international community its rights over the sea and opening a space to develop new activities in this rich natural region, such as exploration, exploitation, preservation and conservation of the resources found. Likewise, it arises the need to improve security conditions due to the upwelling of transnational crime in the maritime area. |
