Indonesia moreover maintains that the travaux preparatoires of the 1891 Convention,though containing no express indication as to whether Ligitan and Sipadan were British or Dutch,confirm its interpretation of Article IV.
In Indonesia's view,there can be no doubt that during the negotiations leading up to the signature of the Convention the two parties,and in particular Great Britain,envisaged a line continuing out to sea to the east of the island of Borneo.In support of this argument,Indonesia submits several maps used by the parties' delegations during the negotiations.It considers that these maps "show a consistent pattern of the line of proposed settlement,wherever it might finally run,being extended out to sea along a relevant parallel of latitude".
