On 2 December 2010, the Kingdom of Denmark submitted to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, in accordance with Article 76, paragraph 8, of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, information on the limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured regarding the Southern Continental Shelf of the Faroe Islands, the Faroe-Rockall Plateau Region.
It is noted that the Convention entered into force for Denmark on 16 December 2004.
According to the submitting State, this is a "partial submission of the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark together with the Government of the Faroes", which "concerns only the area regarding the Southern Continental Shelf of the Faroe Islands, the Faroe-Rockall Plateau Region. The Kingdom of Denmark intends to submit separate information on maritime areas north, north-east, and south of Greenland".
In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Commission, a communication is being circulated to all Member States of the United Nations, as well as States Parties to the Convention, in order to make public the executive summary of the partial submission, including all charts and coordinates contained in that summary.
The consideration of the partial submission made by Denmark will be included in the provisional agenda of the twenty-seventh session of the Commission to be held in New York from 7 March to 21 April 2011.
Upon completion of the consideration of the submission, the Commission will make recommendations pursuant to Article 76 of the Convention.
