On 22 February 1991 Portugal submitted an application to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) instituting proceedings against the Commonwealth of Australia. Portugal was acting on behalf of, and in the interest of, the people of East Timor in bringing the claim, while simultaneously defending its own interests. In 1989 Australia concluded an agreement with Indonesia concerning the delimitation and the exploitation of the continental shelf of East Timor.
