III, p. , p. 162. ~7 On the one hand, Indonesia (the principle spokesman for the archipelagic States) believed that an archipelago should be treated as a single unit, the territorial sea of which should be measured from baselines drawn between the outermost islands. The waters situated to the interior of the baselines would be regarded as internal. 58 To the contrary, the United States (an active spokesman for the maritime nations) argued against this method of measuring the territorial sea: If you lump islands into an archipelago and utilize a straight baseline system connecting the outermost points of such islands and then draw a twelve-mile area around the entire archipelago, you unilaterally attempt to convert into territorial waters or possibly even internal waters vast areas of the high seas formerly freely used for centuries by the ships of all countries.

However, members of the International Law Commission could not reach agreement on the text of an article regarding groups of islands. 43 The International Law Commission was finally coming to grips with the problem of groups of islands but notably in terms of baselines and other traditional concepts as applicable to coastal archipelagos.
