Global court takes up Timor, Australia sea border row
THE HAGUE - An international arbitration court agreed Monday to take up a decade-long maritime border dispute between Australia and East Timor which cuts through lucrative oil and gas fields in the Timor Sea.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration "held that it was competent to continue with the arbitration process" initiated by East Timor against Canberra in April, the court based in The Hague said in a statement.
