- DSP Boundary Dispute Type
- Definition
- Under current treaty practice, the boundary has come into force pursuant to a treaty, agreement (including bi- or multi-lateral negotiations, decisions, exchanges of notes, or other legal instruments), or a United Nations Security Council Resolution.
- Description
- Most boundary treaties come into force when there is an exchange of instruments of ratification. At the present time a lack of registration with the United Nation (which is required by Article 102 of the UN Charter) has no effect on the instrument being in force (the only penalty being that the unregistered treaty may not be invoked before any UN organ). A de jure boundary is usually demarcated, but it can also remain delimited. Disputes may arise over segments of a de jure boundary, but these segments are generally not labeled as 'in dispute'. Boundaries established between colonial powers or as administrative lines within a colony that become the boundaries of post-colonial States who do not reconfirm their mutual boundary by treaty may be termed 'historical de jure boundaries'.
