A border dispute occurs when two or more countries or regions disagree over the location of their shared boundary. These disagreements can arise from historical claims, differing interpretations of treaties, or changes in geography. Border disputes can lead to tensions, negotiations, or even conflicts between the involved parties. Resolving a border dispute often involves diplomatic discussions, mediation by international organizations, or legal proceedings in courts like the International Court of Justice. Successful resolution can promote peace and cooperation, while unresolved disputes may lead to ongoing conflicts or military confrontations.
