Dominica is the only Caribbean state to challenge Venezuela's
sovereignty claim over Aves Island and joins the other island

habitation, a criterion under the UN Convention on the Law of the
Sea (UNCLOS), which permits Venezuela to extend its Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) and continental shelf claims over a large
