Delimitation of the outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nm is of far-reaching strategic significance for coastal States on their politics, economy and military affairs, and factors significantly in the new order set by the UN Convention on Law of the Sea. Russia's 2001 Submission, the first one of this kind considered by the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, has acquainted Russia and other coastal States with the complexity and difficulty in their attempts to extend their continental shelf beyond 200 nm from the baseline of the territorial sea under international law. Frustrated, Russia has coordinated with its neighbors in a pragmatic manner and proactively created an international atmosphere, while carrying out further survey for geo-scientific data to prepare its resubmission carefully. The gains and losses of Russia's submission have provided good lessons on scientific and legal practice for the coastal States, especially for China facing great difficulty in maritime delimitation.
