Saturday 28 July 1838

6 ½

12 5

stood reading skimming over Itineraire des Hautes Pyrénées par A.A. Paris 1833 chez Didier, Q. des Augustines 47. then wrote out the 1st 10 lines of yesterday till breakfast at 9 25 at which hour F68 ½° and very fine morning – breakfast and reading the paper and eating strawberries till 11 1/4 – had had Charles at 10 and ordered the horses at 11 – to go to the montagne de Saougué as spelt by Chaussenque [Chausenque] vol. 1 p. 220 pronounced by Charles Sowgay – Charles brought us his 2 medals to look at, given him by the duchesse de Berri – one large in bronze – excellent likeness of herself and on the reverse, her son given in 1829 – and one small silver like a largeish dix sols piece – herself and her son – could not find the portefeuille containing the botanical notes M. Chaussenque [Chausenque] had given him – perhaps he had lost it – (perhaps he would rather not lend it to me?) – from 11 ¼ to 11 20 (5 minutes more) at my journal again – the horses came at 11 20 – off at 11 ¾ - at the P. de Sia at 12 ½ - at the Pont de Douroncate in 22 minutes at 12 52 the Pic de Bergons about (perhaps not quite so far towards Gavarnie) opposite to the P. de Douroncate (now at 1 just before the bridge of Pragnères I sit on horseback writing this observation) – a ravine between the Bergons and the mt. de Brada – Brada and Liperouse to the Bugaredde rather [niège] which closes the valley de Pragnères, and from the Bugaredde the Lize and Montagne de Même up to Gavarnie road, form the Gavarnie side of the valley de P- the gave de Pragnières coming from the Bugaredde a little farther on (right) our valley of yesterday – its little gave marked on Charpentiers’ map and the valley meant to be designated Subiran? – turned off under the church at Gèdre at 1 ¾ and pass high-arched almost parapettless stone bridge over the Gave de Gavarnie and steep winding ascent up the mountain thro’ box brushwood, and stop a minute or 2 at two for the guides to eat a morsel – very hot – they seem sadly heated – indeed I myself even on horseback am in perspiration – and my linen went on me –

at 2 ¼ at a little distance (left) hameau du Saussa – cross another stone bridge over little gave, and in 20 minutes to ½ hour after alight at 3 ¼ on the Saougué on a little rocky, turfy knoll at a little distance from the cottage of the propriétaire Caoube (or, as pronounced, Cowbe the final e merely of use in lengthening the b) –unsaddled the horses to graze as usual on these occasions – A- had the yolk of one hardboiled egg and I the white, and she then began to sketch the Marboré and cirque, and I sat under a little wall under the little wind (vent d’Espagne) writing pencil notes and contemplating the scene, and looking at my Charpentier-map – the Saougué a large good mountain – plenty of good près (meadows) and pasturage or paccage – as we stand here, on a green and rocky butte, near the cottage and (looking south) the cirque de Gavarnie and Marboré en face – all quite clear as it has been all the way we have come thro’, on setting out this morning, there were a few white clouds floating about that made us doubt our good fortune for today – could see more or less of the Marboré from about 2 ¼ - In front as I now stand at 3 ½ pm (have put on my tartan cloak – my linen damp from the heat of the sun in the steep ascent, and here the air being frais) in front, cirque and cascade seen from the top of its great shoot – a white frothy line the top of the cirque (i.e. the foot of the 1st gradin or talus of snow) seems about, not quite, 2/3 of the height of the great shoot of the cascade – 3 gradins or talus of snow to the foot of the great wall of rock (muraille) whose top is covered with snow, but not more than a speck or 2 visible from here – the top line of the Marboré forming a magnificent segment of a circle the amphitheatre par excellence, begins on the west with the snow-striped Mt. Taillon, and going from west to east (from right to left as I stand) comprises the Taillon, fausse brêche, brêche de Roland, larger tour du Marboré, lesser tour de Marboré, then a levellish line in the middle or swell of the segment, and then the indented range of Astazou shooting up middle way into the huge bluff round-headed pic d’Astazou fit rival of Taillon on this side, and usher of the cylindre and Mt. Perdu on the other as seen from the valley d’Estaubé – Dividing the segment of circle into 3 parts from west to east, the Taillon and 2 brêches and the larger tour = 1/3 the smaller tour and the levellish line to the range of Astazou (that is the cirque) = 1/3 and the range of Astazou = 1/3 the middle part being rather the smallest of the 3 parts – Mt. Perdu not seen from here – to the left – south east – shut out by the Piméné and its long crête ending at the Pic of the [Coumélie] – the pic du Piméné the veritable pic of the Coumélie – it looked so high, so pointed, and steep, and bare and inaccessible, A- had said, does it not seem almost impossible that we should have been there? it does indeed look a giddy height – (vid. line 17. p. 290) Vignemale not in sight – hid by the large mountain forming the north side of the valley d’Ossonne and the Pic Blanc an immense high round rocky head seeming not far from us right (west) and its range sweeping round to the north, and with the pic d’Aspé etc. behind us forming our valley – it would be easy to descend from here where we are upon Gavarnie, but we have no peep into its valley, except upon the ponts de [niège] at the bottom of and upon the arène of its cirque, and no of course peep into the valley d’Ossonne – Behind us, north, after the debouche of our valley into that of Gavarnie a little to the southward of Gèdre, fourche de Brada – Pic Long – and east of us Canelon (like a little pyramid on a huge truncated cone) and pont du plan turning round (south) in the distance above the chapelle de Héas – behind the Brada, the Hourquette de Mow Copperat and Mow Copperat itself – (vid. line 9 from bottom of p. 294) – merely a few streaks of snow on this side the Piméné, and none on the Coumélie – on the range of the Pic d’Astazou bits of snow in the hollows – Taillon horizontally stripped with snow – or rather leaning towards the cirque, on the ledges of its stratification – snow on the gradins or talus of the cirque and on both sides of them up to the top – gradins or talus of snow up to the foot of the larger tour du Marboré and largeish glacier between the Taillon and crête going up to the fauche brêche – the snow on the east side of the crête and between the crête and the brêche de Roland not seen from here – the brêche itself bouché (blocked) by the end of the crête (as seen from here) of high rock east of behind which one goes to the brêche – this seems the best point of view for the cirque and Marboré – nothing to compare with them except perhaps les murailles d’Estaubé? the one on one side the Piméné, the other on the other –

Which the finer?

Cirque de Gavarnie or Murailles d’Estaubé?

and one can pass to the other side by Gavarnie, by the mountain d’Allanz down which we descended – the cascade de Gavarnie being a mere line here, leaves the cirque and Marboré to their own merits – of the cirque de Gavarnie and Murailles d’Estaubé which is the finer coping? the Marboré with its tours, and brêches, and Taillon, and Astazou; or the Mt. Perdu with his glacier and brêche and cylindre and ports de Pinède and Vieux? the soul of chivalry – the spirit of romance would give the casting vote to Marboré for Rolands’ sake? – had just written the above notes at 4 ½ then looking at my map till 5 5 then went to A- could give her ½ hour for beginning colouring her sketch – left her for an hour and went and stood talking to the guides till 6 5 when A- had just down her colouring sufficiently – (the sketch by far the best she has ever done yet) and came to tell us to be off – she had lost one of her brushes – seeking for this and her eating a biscuit and taking a little sip of noyau took us 20 minutes – when (they had misunderstood about saddling the horses) we set off walking homewards at 6 25 and left the men to follow with the horses – we had come according to Charpentier along the valley de Poeyasbé – but in my talk with the guides, they did not seem to allow this – said the mountain we were on was the Saugué a very large mountain seeming to form the whole of the south side of this valley up to the Pic Blanc and on the opposite (north) side was the Pic d’Aspé – aspé simplement – not Poeyaspé – asked the meaning of the word Poey – it had no meaning – but on X examining Pierre and found that Poey means a butte or monticule – vide Chaussenque [Chausenque] ii. 299 ‘Pouey, puch, pech, puy, etc – Montagne’ .:. I cannot help thinking Charpentier probably right – In 20 minutes A- and I had walked to the stone bridge (at 6 ¾) over the little gave – at 7 (the horses had got up to us)

opposite the Mt. Cenis (bare, hoary, round low mountain from here) and the Gavarnie road in sight below from which Mt. Cenis looks very large and high – from here as well as a minute or 2 farther down from the mass of squary rock by the road side called the point de Hoŏrīggăbārd the proprietors of the Marboré about the same at as line 12 from the bottom of p. 296 – but from this point de Horiggabard (at 7 5) magnificent view – Gèdre – a reach of the Gavarnie road – the Marboré – pic long fourche du Brada etc. – le pic blanc – at our feet the white washed cottages of the hameau de Saussa ..........off from here at 7 20 having stopt to speak to the man né at Gavarnie married to a Spanish woman and living at Broto, François Sarret, who advises us to lodge chez Sasset à Broto instead of chez Santa Maria as Charles thought of – says there will be no danger or difficulty about the horses in Spain – but must go to the bureau à Torla for an acquit-à-caution, before we go anywhere else – no troops carlist or Christino hereabouts – many go very safely – as far, too, as Ainsa (Ăīnsăh as pronounced) eleven hours from Broto and the same from Benasque – Charles quite reassured – thinks this Gallo-Spaniard (François Sarret) will be a capital person to take us guide in Spain – A- had get on some distance a head – I said on overtaking her it would be 9 ½ before we got home – yes! said A- laughing, it will be that if we meet no more Spaniards! on the stone bridge over the gave de Gavarnie (just before Gèdre) at 7 55 and here A- mounted and so did I (I had walked all the way to here, and she all but about 5 or 6 minutes just after crossing the 1st bridge at 6 ¾) – it was 8 before we were both mounted and off, and in 5 minutes (at 8) we were at the Inn at Gèdre – Charles had run on before to get a morsel to eat and a little wine and we left Pierre with him and rode forwards – I thought we could ride home very well without them and called to them to take their time – however they overtook us in about ¼ hour or 20 minutes (about a mile from Gèdre) and it was very well; for the light was failing fast at the pont de Praignères tho’ the men ran, and kept us at trot – I could scarce see A- at 20 yards off (behind me) at the Pont des Douroncate, and at the Pont de Sia, tho’ we had run and trotted most of the way, I could not see A- without (whom I had latterly from the last bridge sent first) she was quite close before me and I felt thankful to have got well over the bridge which not being painted white it would not have been difficult to miss – the road being luckily whitish we got on well, till we had a little less dark on the opening of the gorge near Luz – at home at 9 50 having latterly made the men walk – but it was well we got home when we did, for soon after 10 thunder and lightning came on tho’ no rain – dinner over at 10 50 – all had waited and the cook complained thro’ Josephine of having her charcoal burn (her fire to keep in) so late – she had wanted to go to bed! – had Josephine at 11 10 and sat reading Chaussenque vol. 1 till 11 25 at which hour F68 ½°

The South China Sea moves to the Indian Ocean: Conflicting Claims Over the Tromelin Islet and its Maritime Entitlements

The small, isolated, inhospitable (and inhabited) island of Tromelin, located in the Indian Ocean north of Mauritius and the French Reunion island, and east of Madagascar (see map), has been the subject of passionate debate in recent weeks in France, both in the media (here and here) and within the Parliament (transcript of the debate before the French National Assembly).

Tromelin is a flat and small feature, about 1,700 metres long and 700 metres wide, with an area of about 80 hectares (200 acres). Its flora is limited, while the site is known to host significant numbers of seabirds. There is no harbour nor anchorages on the island, but a 1,200-metre airstrip, and there appears to be no continuous human presence.

Tromelin was discovered by a French navigator in 1722, and France today claims sovereignty over it by virtue of historical title (discovery of terra nullius) dating back to that date. The islet was the scene of a sad – and little known – episode of history as the place where approximately 60 Malagasy men and women were abandoned for 15 years in the 18th century after a French ship transporting slaves eschewed on the island. Most of the slaves died within a few months. The survivors were finally rescued in 1776, when Bernard Boudin de Tromelin, captain of the French warship La Dauphine, visited the island and discovered seven women and an eight-month-old child. Captain Tromelin also raised a French flag on the island – and his name was given to it.

French possession of Tromelin was interrupted by Britain which took control of the island in 1810. Then in 1954, the British gave their consent to France’s effective control over Tromelin. But sovereignty over Tromelin is still disputed, and the island has been claimed by the newly independent Mauritius since 1976, and reportedly also by Madagascar and the Seychelles (see V. Prescott, ‘Indian Ocean Boundaries’ at 3462-63). The controversy in France over Tromelin has led to the postponing of the ratification by the Parliament of a framework agreement entered into by France and Mauritius in June 2010, providing for joint economic, scientific and environmental management (cogestion) of the island and of surrounding maritime areas.

Concerns expressed in France revolve around the issue of a possible loss or abandonment by France of its sovereignty over the feature, and most of all of its rights over the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Tromelin, that France established in 1976 (see Decree no. 78-146 of 3 February 1978, establishing, pursuant to the Act of 16 July 1976, an economic zone off the coasts of the islands of Tromelin, Glorieuses, Juan de Nova, Europa and Bassas da India, Law of the Sea Bulletin, No. 71 [2010] at 16). Critics also point to the risk of creating a precedent that could be used to fuel arguments of those countries (Mauritius, the Comoros and Madagascar) which repeatedly dispute French claims of sovereignty over the other French-occupied Scattered Islands (Îles Éparses) of the Indian Ocean (Juan de Nova, Glorioso and Europa islands, the Bassas da India atoll, and the feature known as Banc du Geyser), and related maritime zones. For example, Section 111 of the Constitution of Mauritius provides that Tromelin is part of Mauritian territory. Mauritius also deposited with the UN Department for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, pursuant to Articles 16 and 47 of UNCLOS, charts and lists of geographical coordinates of basepoints and baselines for the maritime zones of Mauritius, which include basepoints around Tromelin (see Maritime Zone Notification M.Z.N.63.2008.LOS of 27 June 2008).

The issue of sovereignty over Tromelin is a very complex one, that should be further examined through interpretation of relevant international agreements, including the Treaty of Paris of 30 May 1814 between France and the United Kingdom – which transferred sovereignty over the French colony of Mauritius (then known as Isle of France) and its dependencies to the British –, and assessment of the subsequent practice of the States concerned. For the record, the provision concerning Mauritius (then Isle of France) in the Treaty of Paris was its Article VIII, worded as follows:

His Britannic majesty stipulating for himself and his allies, engages to restore to his most Christian majesty [French King Louis XVIII], within the term which shall be hereafter fixed, the colonies, fisheries, factories, and establishments of every kind, which were possessed by France on the 1st of January 1792, in the seas and on the continents of America, Africa, and Asia, with the exception however of the islands of Tobago and St. Lucie, and of the Isle of France and its dependencies, especially Rodrigues and Les Sechelles, which several colonies and possessions his most Christian majesty cedes in full right and sovereignty to his Britannic majesty, and also the portion of St. Domingo ceded to France by the treaty of Basle, and which his most Christian majesty restores in full right and sovereignty to his Catholic majesty » (full text of the Treaty in E. Hertslet, The Map of Europe by Treaty, at 1 – emphasis added).

Assessing the merits of claims regarding Tromelin would by far exceed the limits of this note. The exercise will likely include an in-depth examination of relevant archival materials, namely those found in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (the National Library of France) and the Archives Nationales d’Outre-Mer (the National Overseas Archives), as well as in the British archives including those of the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. At first sight, the validity of the claims of France regarding Tromelin is not obvious and needs to be critically assessed under the international law relating to the acquisition of territory.

Mauritius is of the view that the assignment by the Treaty of Paris of the Isle of France (Mauritius) to the British Crown included Tromelin, so that upon reaching independence in 1968, Mauritius should have entered into possession of Tromelin. France of course holds a contrary view. A French Parliament report advocating the ratification of the 2010 framework agreement between France and Mauritius referred to the multiplicity of France’s “acts of sovereignty and administration over this islet (îlot) even before the independence of Mauritius [in 1968] […] without UK protest”. Basically, France’s historical title to the island is to be assessed against other claims formulated by Mauritius, and reportedly also by Madagascar and the Seychelles.

Irrespective of the sovereignty over Tromelin, it is far from certain, at first sight, that this island (or islet) of Tromelin be entitled to full maritime zones and in particular an exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This is dependent in particular on interpretation of the terms of Article 121 para. 3 of UNCLOS, according to which “[r]ocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone or continental shelf”. The precise meaning of Article 121 para. 3 has long proven controversial (see e.g. Erik Franckx, ‘The Regime of Islands and Rocks’, in D.J. Attard, M. Fitzmaurice, N.A. Martínez Gutiérrez (eds.), The IMLI Manual on International Maritime Law, Vol. I, Law of the Sea, at 99-124.).

Interpretation of this article has been one of the main points addressed by the Arbitral tribunal in its Award of 12 July 2016 in the South China Sea Arbitration (Republic of the Philippines v. People’s Republic of China) case before the PCA. The tribunal in that case engaged in a thorough interpretation exercise and made a number of findings as to the accurate meaning of all components of paragraph 3 (« rocks », « cannot » « sustain », « human habitation », « or », and « economic life of their own »), which will probably offer some valuable guidance regarding future similar cases. What should be assessed properly is whether Tromelin, due to its physical and geographical characteristics (as evidenced by precise and recent scientific works and reports), is entitled – as any island – to full maritime zones under Article 121 para. 2 of UNCLOS, or if it meets the definition of a rock within the meaning of Article 121 para. 3, in which case it would not generate an exclusive economic zone or a continental shelf.

As regards prospects for a settlement of the issue of Tromelin (and possibly other Îles Éparses), several observations may be made. First, while it has been reported that Mauritius would be prepared to submit the dispute to the ICJ, the jurisdictional basis for such referral remains unclear. One has to bear in mind that France, upon ratifying UNCLOS in 1996, has declared that it does not accept any of the dispute settlement procedures provided for in Part XV, section 2, of UNCLOS with respect inter alia to “[d]isputes concerning the interpretation or application of articles 15, 74 and 83 relating to sea boundary delimitations, or those involving historic bays or titles”. Second, the settlement of the sovereignty issue may possibly be disjoined from the issue of maritime entitlements, as the Arbitral tribunal did in the South China Sea Arbitration case when it pronounced on maritime entitlements of various features of the South China sea without addressing the sovereignty issue over those features. As various commentators have stressed, the tribunal could hardly have done otherwise, since UNCLOS is not concerned with sovereignty over land territory and islands, and assumes for the purposes of delimitation that the issue of sovereignty is resolved. This was also the position of the Arbitral Tribunal in the Chagos Marine Protected Area Arbitration (Mauritius v. United Kingdom) case, where Mauritius opposed the establishment by the UK of a marine protected area around the Chagos archipelago, administered by the UK but claimed by Mauritius. In its Award of 18 March 2015, the Tribunal held in substance that Mauritius’ claim that the UK did not qualify as a “coastal state” within the meaning of UNCLOS as regards the Chagos Islands concerned in fact the question of sovereignty over the Chagos, which was not a matter concerning the interpretation or application of UNCLOS, and therefore that it did not have jurisdiction.

This separation between sovereignty over Tromelin and the determination of maritime zones generated by the latter appears, even if implicitly, as the path chosen by the negotiators of the 2010 framework agreement between France and Mauritius. While disagreeing on the issue of sovereignty, the two sides agreed on Tromelin’s entitlement to an EEZ. The French side, while reaffirming its sovereignty over Tromelin – and that it would not give its consent to any third-party dispute settlement mechanism on that issue –, stated that the objective of the agreement is “basically political and aims at overpassing the sovereignty dispute […] through adoption of a partnership approach in three specific sectors: environment, archeology and fisheries” (see Report of the French Senate). It should also be noted that France and Mauritius had also adopted a pragmatic approach in 1980 when they reached agreement on the delimitation of part of their maritime boundary – setting Tromelin aside (see Convention between the Government of the French Republic and the Government of Mauritius on the delimitation of the French and Mauritian economic zones between the islands of Reunion and Mauritius, 2 April 1980, reprinted in US Department of State, Office of the Geographer, Maritime Boundary: France (Reunion)-Mauritius, Limits in the Seas No. 95 [1982] with map). The above-mentioned report of the French Senate stressed the common view of France and Mauritius on the need to assert control over maritime zones surrounding Tromelin – pending the resolution of the sovereignty dispute –, as a means to establish other marine protected areas, to implement joint policies regarding sustainable fisheries, or to combat illicit dumping, among other issues.

It should also be noted that, given its geographical situation, the determination of the status of Tromelin as regards Article 121 para. 3 of UNCLOS would necessarily impact the localisation of maritime boundaries with certain third States, namely neighbouring islands, especially Madagascar. Clive Schofield recently observed that “the potential maritime claims to be made from the disputed islands of the South China Sea, often illustrated by reference to maps giving these features full-effect in the generation of strict equidistance lines, is misleading” (C. Schofield, ‘What’s at stake in the South China Sea? Geographical and geopolitical considerations’, in R. Beckman, I. Townsend-Gault, C. Schofield, T. Davenport and L. Bernard (eds.), Beyond Territorial Disputes in the South China Sea: Legal Frameworks for the Joint Development of Hydrocarbon Resources at 24).

The author of the present note is of the view that the same observation may be made as regards a number of disputed features of the Indian Ocean – including Tromelin.
