Our Pakistani friends were jumping for joy after hearing that India cannot lay a pipeline without the permission of Pakistan!
Now as per Article 58 they can do squat to prevent India from doing so! The bubble has burst, and how!!
its better not to have any knowledge rather to have 'incomplete knowledge'
NOW READ THESE ARTICLES & CLAUSES SLOWLY ..........
The above quoted clause (1) of article 58 which debates about the 'FREEDOM' of 'all states' (coastal & Land lock) in EEZ in relation to navigation, overflight & of laying of submarine cables & pipelines is actually subjecting these freedom under Article 87 of PART VII of the same United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
relevant clause are stated under
Again the clause (1) sub clause (c) of Article 87 is referring to the Part of VI (which deals with the 'subjective freedom' of state or states for laying Submarine cables or pipelines on the continental shelf); in order for State or States to exercise the given 'subjective freedom' by UN under the convention to lay the undersea pipeline the following clause 79 of Part VI is applicable, which is stated below
The clause 3 of article 79 of the UN convention on the law of sea has explicitly mention that consent of coastal state is necessary for delineation of such pipeline projects; while the clause clause 4 has clarified that no given freedom to States (other then COASTAL STATE) under this clause affect the right of coastal state over its jurisdiction in EEZ.
Now back to Article 58 clause 3 (mention as under) clearly instructs STATES to respect & to comply with the LAWS & REGULATIONS of COASTAL STATE in EEZ
Now after quoting these number of clauses which have made it clear that India can't even 'initiate' the pipeline project in Pakistani EEZ all its own without the consent (read 'approval') of Pakistan; I want to ask you that how did you reach to conclusion that India have all the right to lay down an undersea pipeline in 'Pakistan's EEZ' but Pakistan have no right under the the international law even in Pakistan's EEZ & why you ignored the following wordings of Article 58 clause 1 (posted by you in your post)
either you are just another Indian troll or you just copy & pasted the (incomplete) clause from some Indian forum without even understanding the matter.
@OrionHunter Looks like you been smoking some heavy stuff. Read @HRK 's post and wake up.
