Maritime boundaries are not yet agreed on between Korea and China as well as between Korea and Japan. One of the most important reasons for the growing disputes relating to the boundary delimitation is that the distance between the coasts of any two countries in this area does not exceed 400 nautical miles. The problems of boundary delimitation of the overlapping EEZ shall be the focal point of them. The disputes surrounding Ieodo which is underwater in the assumed EEZ of Korea in the view point of distance are arising, or likely to arise, between Korea and China lately. This paper aims at trying to review conflicting claims of jurisdiction relating to Ieodo between two countries and find countermeasures in international law in particular UNCLOS Convention.
