On 16 June 2026, Malaysia participated in the deliberation of the report of the Chair of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) at the 36th Meeting of SPLOS.

Malaysia noted that of the 109 submissions received, several, including Malaysia’s, remain pending due to objections from other states. Malaysia raised concerns about the deferral of submissions and the impact of paragraph 5(a) of the CLCS Rules of Procedure, which complicates the Commission's mandate and delays the fulfillment of coastal states' rights.

In this regard, Malaysia urged the Commission to address the procedural gridlock that unfairly disadvantages coastal states and hinders the practical implementation of UNCLOS.
