Barbados and assert overlapping EEZ claims and continental shelf entitlements in an OCA located opposite the North East coast of continental South America. As discussed in the following paragraphs, the jurisdictional entitlements of Barbados and Guyana in this are contested by . Design features of provisional joint management frameworks:In December 2003 both States concluded a treaty establishing a detailed framework for the cooperative management of this area (2003 Treaty). The 2003 Treaty is expressly characterized as an implementation of the , and LOSC provisions concerning provisional management of overlapping EEZ claims.
