=== Janan Island ===
[[File:Hawar_Pier_1938.png|thumb|left|Hawar Pier in 1938.]]
Janan (or Jinan) Island, a small island south of Hawar island, was also considered in the 2001 {{abbr|ICJ|International Court of Justice}} judgment. Based on a previous agreement when both Qatar and Bahrain were under British occupation, it was judged to be separate from the Hawar islands and so considered by the court separately.<ref name=icj54 /> It was awarded to Qatar.<ref name=icj81 />
