THE RESOLUTION OF BOUNDARY DISPUTES IN INTERNATIONAL LAW, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASISON COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN LEGAL SYSTEMS AND THE COUNTRIES IN TRANSITION

Abstract

International law defines the state as an entity that has a 
clearly defined territory, with the population of permanent 
settlements, which is under the control of the state being 
entered or has an option of entering into formal relations 
with other such entities.1 
The size of territory or population who live there are factors 
that determine whether an area will become a state or not. 
Otherwise today would not include countries such as 
Vatican City /area:0,44 km, population 829/, Monaco /area 
2 km, population 30.586/ and Andora /area:468 km, 
population 84.525/.2 On the other hand, due to the failure 
criterian of the existence of permanently settled population , 
Antarctica could not become a 3state. However, despite the 
fact that Anarctica has no government status , the signing 
of an agreement on Antarctica itself, it was able to secure 
some sort of independence at least when it comes to 
building military bases, carrying out military maneuvers, 
and testing weapons of any kind.4
