Equidistance principle

The Equidistance Principle is a concept primarily used in international law, particularly in the context of maritime delimitation. It asserts that in situations where two states are in proximity and need to establish maritime boundaries, the boundary should be drawn along a line that is equidistant from the nearest points of the baselines of the two states involved. This principle aims to ensure fairness by providing both states equal access to the resources of the adjacent maritime area.
