Article 15 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982 outlines how to determine the boundaries of a state's territorial sea when it shares a coast with another state.
Explanation
Article 15 of the UNCLOS is about the delimitation of territorial seas between states with adjacent or opposite coasts.
The delimitation of territorial seas is generally considered to be uncontroversial.
However, the interpretation and application of Article 15 can be challenging.
The UNCLOS is a legally binding rule of conduct that can result in state responsibility if breached.
Related concepts
The high seas are all parts of the ocean that are not part of a state's territorial sea, internal waters, archipelagic waters, or exclusive economic zone.
The high seas are open to all states, and they have freedoms like freedom of navigation, overflight, and laying submarine cables.

The case is more complex than this text suggests.

First things first UNCLOS was designed to be applicable to the seas, not internal waters. Internal waters usually have treaties, such as the Anglo-German Treaty which cover the border between Tanzania and Malawi. Tanzania inherited this treaty per the principles of the Nyerere Doctrine of State Succession and did not raise timely objections to the treaty, making it valid as a Tanzania Malawi treaty.

This is why Tanzania prefers arbitration over adjudication.

In fact, Nyerere and Kawawa both acknowledged that the legitimate border is on the eastern shore.

Where treaties exist, treaties take precedence over the principle of median line. This is why the border on Lake Victoria is not on the median line.

Mpaka wa kusini wa Ziwa Nyasa na Msumbiji uliwekwa kupitia mikataba kati ya Uingereza na Ureno, ambayo iligawa mpaka wa ziwa katikati.

Hata hivyo, mpaka kati ya Tanzania na Malawi ulitokana na mkataba kati ya Uingereza na Ujerumani 1890 enzi hizo Tanganyika ikiwa koloni la Ujerumani, ambao uliweka ziwa lote chini ya himaya ya Uingereza (baadaye likarithiwa na Malawi).

Lakini sheria hizo ni za zamani, kwani kwa mujibu wa sheria za sasa za kimataifa, mipaka ya maziwa kwa kawaida hugawanywa katikati (kama ilivyofanyika kati ya Malawi na Msumbiji).

Malawi haitaki kukubali sheria za kisasa za kimataifa, badala yake inasisitiza kufuata sheria za zamani.

Kumbuka pia Msumbiji waliwaachia Malawi visiwa viwili ambavyo ukiangalia ramani kama hujui unaweza kusema ni vya Msumbiji kumbe ni Malawi maana unavuka mpaka wa Malawi wa ziwani ndo unafika kwenye hivyo visiwa
