[The decision was adopted by a vote of eleven (President Bustamante y Rivero, Judges Ainmoun, Fitzmaurice, Forster, Gros, Jessup, Onyeama, Padilla Nervo, Petren, Zafrulla Khan, and Judge ad hoc Mosler) to six (Vice President Koretsky, Judges Bengzon, Lachs, Morelli, Tanaka, and Judge ad hoc Sorensen). Those judges who dis-sented favored delimitation on the basis of equidistance.

1 It is worthy of note that, at the conference en the Law of the Sea, the Delegation of Yugoslavia proposed to delete from Article 72 (now Article 6) the words “and unless another boundary line is Justified by special circumstances” (A/CCNF. 13/42, p. 130) and the Delegation of the United Kingdom, in its amended draft of the same article, omitted the same words (ibid., p. 134).
