A recent query from a colleague.

I am wondering whether anyone can assist me with the following matters:

(1) Reference to legal or arbitral decisions dealing with the
disposition of
islands where, for example, a State's territory is defined as including all
islands (but, perhaps, not waters) to the, say, west or south of a given
meridian of longitude or parallel of latitude; and the islands in question
"straddle" the meridian or parallel.

(2) A list of all those international (and, if possible, in the case of
federations, interstate) boundaries located on the banks of rivers; as
distinct from midlines, etc.

Responses to me please,
thanks
Brendan
