You still have not elaborate on what you think equity is and why the median line is not equitable in the Greece-Turkey delimitation.
This has already been discussed and shown to be false and quite ridiculous.

The situation is pretty much the same with Spain-Morocco and Portugal-Morocco.
For starters, PCA is an arbitration court. It's not ICJ. ICJ doesn't arbitrate. It passes judgment. More importantly, in the case of Andaman islands, both mainland India and the Andaman islands face the same Bangladeshi coastline. They were able to make projections between the respective bodies. Finally, Bangladesh did get more in that deal.

I base that "false" claim on the official website of ITCLOS:

Greece

“Pursuant to article 298, paragraph 1, of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Hellenic Republic declares that it does not accept any of the procedures provided for in Part XV, section 2, with respect to the following disputes:

a) Disputes concerning the interpretation or application of articles 15, 74 and 83 relating to sea boundary delimitations, or those involving historic bays or titles;

b) Disputes concerning military activities, including military activities by government vessels and aircraft engaged in non-commercial service, and disputes concerning law enforcement activities in regard to the exercise of sovereign rights or jurisdiction excluded from the jurisdiction of a court or tribunal under article 297, paragraph 2 or 3;

c) Disputes in respect of which the Security Council of the United Nations is exercising the functions assigned to it by the Charter of the United Nations, unless the Security Council decides to remove the matter from its agenda or calls upon the parties to settle it by the means provided for in this Convention.”
The articles 15, 74 and 83 are titled "Delimitation of the territorial sea between States with opposite or adjacent coasts," "Delimitation of the exclusive economic zone between States with opposite or adjacent coasts" and Delimitation of the continental shelf between States with opposite or adjacent coasts."
