	TRINIDADANDTOBAGONEWS.COM - The 1990 Accord Replaces the 1942 Paria Treaty
		While the said 1942 Treaty was applicable to the submarine marines located seawards of the then 3-mile territorial sea in the Gulf of Paria and the Columbus Channel extending to Roja Point on the South coast of TandT, the 1990 Treaty is in fact a comprehensive accord delimiting all recognised maritime zones i.e.
		In some parts of the Gulf after 1969 (when TandT declared a 12-mile TS) on both sides of the AB boundary the waters came under the jurisdiction of Venezuela (via its 1956 Law) but the submarine areas below this water column were under the jurisdiction of TandT under the 1942 Treaty and vice versa.
		Notice must be taken of the fact that the 1990 Treaty used the original Gulf of Paria Treaty- AB line to fix points 8 and 9 but shifted the lines BY-YX northwards in order to determine and establish the bilateral boundaries of the 12 mile-TS in this area (Points 10,11 12 and 13).
