The Russia-United States maritime boundary "de facto" follows the June 1, 1990 USA/USSR Maritime Boundary Agreement [ [http://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/USA-RUS1990MB.PDF 1990 USSR/USA Maritime Boundary Agreement] ] (since Russia declared itself to be the successor of the Soviet Union),][ [http://www.state.gov/p/eur/rls/fs/20922.htm Status of Wrangel and Other Arctic Islands] ] but it has yet to be approved by the Russian parliament. The United States Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification as early as on September 16, 1991 and has no intentions to reopen the issue.][ In its turn, the USA-USSR agreement is the confirmation of the earlier United States-Russia Convention of March 18 (O.S.)/March 30 (N.S.), 1867.]From the point, 65° 30' N, 168° 58' 37" W the maritime boundary extends north along the 168° 58' 37" W meridian through the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea into the Arctic Ocean as far as permitted under international law.
