Coastal waters and territorial disputes

Simone Barrett-White made this Freedom of Information request to Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The request was partially successful.

From: Simone Barrett-White

25 June 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you supply me, in electronic format, a list of current
disputes between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland with other international governments over coastal waters
around the UK.

Also, could you provide, again in electronic format, disputes the
UK currently has with other foreign powers over land ownership of
islands and territories.

If these are being processed by some international body, could you
please supply me with the names of these bodies and any relevant
case numbers, histories and notes.

Please remember that these shouldn't just be recent cases, but all
open disputes the UK has over territorial claims worldwide. If this
is not relevant to your department, could you please direct me to
the department who would deal with this.

Yours faithfully,

Simone Barrett-White
