remain in force. After the said period has expired. which from discussions
with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs There is an opinion that both The two

Analyze that after the specified period of 50 year, will it become a

Laws related to the protection of national interests at sea.
1. Explain the meaning of “continental shelf” and the definition of
“island”.
1.1 The meaning of "island" in UNCLOS 1958 and UNCLOS 1982, where
the meaning is given.
- UNCLOS 1958 An island means an area that is always above water
even at high tide. which can be used
can be defined as a maritime territory
- UNCLOS 1982 An island means a natural area that is always above
water even during high tide. Must have living things and be able to live on
their own. Regardless of the size of the space. On the nautical chart, the area
that is always above water, even at high tide, is shown with yellow, whether
it's an island or a rock For areas above water only at low tide elevation is
shown in green. That is, it can only be seen at low tide. But when the tide is
high, it will not be visible, such as the area.
The meaning of “continental shelf”
- The continental shelf according to UNCLOS 1982 stipulates a
continental shelf that is weaker than UNCLOS. 1958 is the portion of land that
extends naturally (Natural Prolongation) to the outer edge of the continental
slope.
Or up to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the base line used to
measure the territorial sea. If the continental shelf does not reach (UN, 1982,
p. 53). The continental shelf is 200 nautical miles mandated to be consistent
with the EEZ distance which has a distance of 200 nautical miles as well or if a
coastal state with a continental shelf that is less than 200 nautical miles or is
economically disadvantaged
The physical continental shelf can not exceed 200 nautical miles, so the
continental shelf (sea floor and subsoil) No declaration is required since every
state can have a continental shelf by default within 200 nautical miles from
the baseline (the continental shelf is the portion of the seafloor and the
subsoil, excluding water masses; it must be imagined as a crust that the mass
of water is a part and the seafloor and the subsoil are another. but are
integrated together in the vertical section This layer of the seafloor and
subsoil is known as the continental shelf.)
2. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Thailand
and Malaysia contains the essence and objectives of the agreement. For
what and whether Thailand can fish in the area or not and how?
2.1 Objectives of the MOU to formulate an agreement on mutual
exploitation in overlapping areas by sea in the Gulf of Thailand (Continental
shelf area), caused by both Thailand and Malaysia declaring marine
boundaries of their own, thus resulting in overlapping marine areas
continental shelf.
2.2 Essence of the MOU Thailand and Malaysia have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding Establishment of a joint
organization to exploit the resources on the ground. under the sea in a defined
area of the continental shelf of Both countries in the Gulf of Thailand on
February 21, 1979 at Chiang Mai Province, which is the origin of the
development area.
Thai-Malaysia joint venture (Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development
Area: MT-JDA), in which the MOU is binding again 50 years (ends in 2029), the
essence of the MOU is as follows:
2.2.1 Both countries mutually agree that there is a maritime overlapping
area arising from the declaration of maritime zone unilaterally,
acknowledging that as a result of overlapping claims on the continental shelf
of the two countries in the Gulf of Thailand
2.2.2 If Thailand and Malaysia wish to negotiate a future maritime
boundary according to the law and International practices must be negotiated
under UNCLOS 1958, which requires that all natural materials be Any land
that is always above water has the status of an island and can be referred to as
a maritime territory. (using Losin Island as a line direct base to determine the
maritime boundaries)
2.2.3 If Thailand and Malaysia are unable to reach a resolution on the
maritime overlapping area within Term of 50 years. This existing agreement
shall continue.
2.3 Can Thailand fish in the area or not and how?
- Taking into account the sovereign rights as defined in UNCLOS 1982,
coastal States have the right to survey and Exploitation over non-living
natural resources above and below the surface (excluding water mass),
including
There are specific living natural resources attached to it. Therefore, the
Thai state is unable to fish on the continental shelf where is an area
overlapping with Malaysia. But because Thailand has announced the exclusive
economic zone (EEZ). The width is 200 miles from the base line based on the
original agreement between Thailand and Malaysia. which happened before
UNCLOS 1982 (including the continental shelf overlap with Malaysia) as
an EEZ of Thailand to be The preservation of Thailand's sovereign rights over
water bodies, seabeds and subsurface soils sovereignty in the EEZ area of
Thailand, therefore, it is possible to fish in such overlapping areas. But be
careful of arrest of Malaysia that may refer to the overlapping area as their
own EEZ as well.

III. According to No. 1 and No. 2, because Koh Losin is used as a


baseline point of Thailand Analyze whether after the expiration of the
50-year period, will there be a problem or not and how? along with
guidelines for solving future problems
Answer: At the end of 50 years (2029), if Thailand and Malaysia are
unable to reach a resolution on the overlapping area maritime overlap, then
both countries shall proceed in accordance with the contents specified in this
MOU as stated in paragraph 2, Article 6 of the Memorandum of Understanding
states that “if a satisfactory solution cannot be reached on the issue of
continental shelf demarcation within the said fifty years period This existing
agreement shall continue to apply after the expiration of such period.”
Therefore, even though the Memorandum of Agreement will end the
obligations between Thailand and Malaysia in the year 2029 and make the
area MT-JDA expired as well. But if Thailand and Malaysia are unable to agree
on maritime boundaries in the area Such agreement will continue to be
effective. which will not have any impact on Thailand and its status The
maritime overlapping area between Thailand and Malaysia will remain the
same as the maritime overlapping area. Guidelines for solving future
problems
1. The two States will then continue to negotiate a solution to the
maritime boundary issue.
2. People should be educated on maritime boundaries and maritime
boundary problems It has been generally accepted that the status of Losin
Island as part of the baseline at region 4 is valid in all respects under the
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982.
3. The problem of overlapping marine areas between Thailand and
Malaysia When the Memorandum of Understanding about the area The joint
development between Thailand and Malaysia ended. Both countries have
established a way to resolve the issue peacefully.

government officials certain powers to act unlawfully. Violating the rights and
liberties of the people, such as arrest, detention, search, seizure, attachment,

there is an event that falls under the law already in force The management
will have to take some steps in order to continue to promulgate it.
2. Do you think that Thailand needs to have all 3 security laws or not?
Three laws Even though it is a law that affects the rights and liberties of the
people to some extent,
Such laws will be in force. There must be some situation and some kind
of action taken by the commander administration for promulgation Having it
as a guarantee to the public that Management actions, even in The situation is
not normal. Management cannot act at will. but still have to proceed according
to the law The legislature has prepared which is a process of balancing and
checking the exercise of power according to the regime democracy

Therefore, three copies are necessary for Thai society in the future.
3. How to prevent people in the area from having an attitude that the
state and government officials use their powers according to the law. How
does security restrict fundamental rights and freedoms and prevent
movement?
Laws are what the legislature has established. By any means that the
management or staff The State as an Administrative Mechanism What
authority do you have? will prescribe the power However, if the officer acts
Going beyond the powers given to him would be against the law itself. It
can be implied that government officials intending to prosecute Violators of
the law, on the other hand, on the other hand, aim to punish government
officials for violating the law. Scope of power provided by law which the
