His Highness the Shaikh of Bahrain is recognised
as having soverign rights in
(i) the areas of the Dibal and Jaradeh shoals
which are above the spring tide low-water
level. After a full examination of the
position under international law, His
Majesty’s Government are of opinion that
these shoals should not be considered to
be islands having territorial waters.
(ii) Hawar Island, the islands of the Hawar
group and the territorial waters pertain
ing thereto and delimited again in accord
ance with the usual principles of inter
national law. These islands and their
territorial waters are shown on the map
enclosed by the line A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H, I, J, K and L. As this delimitation
will, however, leave a narrow tongue of
water (formed by the points M, J, and I)
pertaining to Qatar it has been decided
to alter the line H, I, J, to H, P, Q,
thus exchanging an equal area P I 0 for
0 J Q, It should be noted that Janan
Island is not regarded as being included
in the islands of the two Hawar group.
