In effect, the treaty imposed upon the Ottoman and Persian Empires a settlement that served the imperialist interests of Britain and Russia by disposing of disputed claims in principle and leaving the settlement of detail to a Delimitation Commission on which Britain and Russia were also to have mediation powers.

A new legal status was specified under the 1921 Treaty of Moscow, which was affirmed in 1935 and later superceded by the Protocol of 1940, which made the Caspian Sea a joint property of Russia and Iran and envisaged equal shipping rights for both parties.
