[p. 124] It occurs frequently in practice that a delimitation
between two States involves taking account of the coast of a third State; but
the taking into account of all the coasts and coastal relationships within the
Gulf as a geographical fact for the purpose of effecting an eventual
delimitation as between two riparian States - El Salvador and Honduras in the
instant case - in no way signifies that by such an operation itself the legal
interest of a third riparian State of the Gulf, Nicaragua, may be affected.
