| | Indonesia/Malaysia - Case Concerning Sovereignty over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan - General List No. 102 [2002] ICJ 4 (12 December 2002) |
 | | The islands mentioned were as follows: Muliangin, Muliangin Kechil, Malawali, Tegabu, Bilian, Tegaypil, Lang Kayen, Boan, Lehiman, Bakungan, Bakungan Kechil, Libaran, Taganack, Beguan, Mantanbuan, Gaya, Omadal, Si Amil, Mabol, Kepalai and Dinawan. |
| | Malaysia asserts, in respect of the original title, that “[i]n the eighteenth and throughout the nineteenth century until 1878, the coastal territory of north-east Borneo and its adjacent islands was a dependency of the Sultanate of Sulu”. |
| | Malaysia moreover rejects the idea that the parties to the 1891 Convention intended to establish an “allocation perimeter”, that is to say a “theoretical line drawn in the high seas under a convention which enables sovereignty over the islands lying within the area in question to be apportioned between the parties”. |
