evidence: The pre-eminence of maritime power is very well illustrated by history of the contemporary world. Importance of the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) for national economies and as a result, global race to claim and control various parts of oceans/seas has become intense over the years. In view of the current geo-political scenarios, adherence to the existing international laws- related to seas and economic zones codified in the form of UNCLOS has become necessary to resolve issues related to maritime boundaries and their protection. India appreciates importance of UNCLOS and has been trying to lawfully resolve its long pending maritime dispute with Pakistan, albeit with limited success. For India, the Sir Creek area would always be of strategic importance in view of its national security and economic well-being. There is ample historical evidence in support of India claims in Sir Creek. There are also many scholarly studies that have examined this boundary issue with a view to find solutions within the ambit of UNCLOS. This paper traces the concept of maritime boundaries and some of the important scholarly solutions for resolving the Sir Creek dispute. [...] The Sir Creek (location coordinates 23 58N 68 48E) consists of 96-km strip (Fig: 3) of water. It can also be called a fluctuating tidal channel or an estuary situated in the marshes of Rann of Kutch, water from which flows into the Arabian Sea. It divides Kutch region in Gujrat state of India and the Sindh region of Pakistan. Originally named Ban Ganga, Sir Creek is named after a British representative involved in the dispute resolution process.
