353 The arbitral tribunal in the UK - French Continental Shelf arbitration similarly considered the navigational, defence and security interests of both parties in its delimitation (54 I.L.R. p. 5, at para. 188 (1979)). Those considerations included defence plans, sea rescue, control of navigation, and responsibility for lights and buoys (para. 163). Although the arbitral tribunal considered those interests, it found that they did not exercise “a decisive influence on the delimitation of the boundary“ in that case due to the ‘ ‘very particular character of the English Channel as a major route of international maritime navigation serving ports outside the territories of either of the Parties“ (para. 188). However, the tribunal did find that even in that case, they could “support and strengthen … any conclusions that are already indicated by the geographical, political and legal circumstances of the region” (para. 188).
