<![CDATA[Indonesia is an archipelagic country where a significant part of its territory consists of maritime waters. In the context of jurisdiction governed by the 1985 Law on the Ratification of UNCLOS 1982, Northern Natuna, known for having the largest natural gas reserves in the Asia-Pacific, is recognized as part of Indonesia's (ZEE). However, Vietnam's ratification of UNCLOS in 1982 also asserts a similar claim, stating that geographically, Northern Natuna falls within their territory.

Each country has the freedom to choose a resolution alternative that aligns with the wishes of both parties, whether through litigation or non-litigation, as stipulated in Article 280 of UNCLOS 1982.]]>
