This recognition is enshrined in UNCLOS III Final Act\"s Annex II containing the Statement of Understanding Concerning a Specific Method to be Used in Establishing the Outer Edge of the Continental Margin and applying exclusively to the southern part of the Bay of Bengal, although in practice a similar situation could also be claimed by States other than Sri Lanka and India.2.By 3 May 1990, the LOS Convention had obtained 159 signatures and 43 (out of the 60 required for its entry into force) ratifications. See 15 Law of the Sea Bulletin (UN Office for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea) (05 1990) pp. 1–6. Note also the relevant studies issued by this UN Office on island-related questions, such as: Regime of Islands (United Nations, 1988); Baselines (United Nations, 1989); and Archipelagic States (United Nations, 1990).3.For an excellent brief exposition of this regime, see the article by one of the principal architects thereof, KusumaatmadjaM., “The Concept of the Indonesian Archipelago”, 10 Indonesian Q. (1982) no. 4, pp. 12–26. For an extensive analysis of State practice, see also KwiatkowskaB. and AgoesE.R., ‘Archipelagic Waters: An Assessment of National Legislation’, in WolfrumR
