Abstract

Abstract This thiesis tackles the legal aspects for the settlement of intern\ltional borders disputes stressing on the Arabic Gulf area. In effect, the borders specify the framework of a state region as well as the national sovereignty. As the disputes of the international borders are related to the settling and planning of the limits, the international law has . set of settlement methods, some are political and the others are ........ - . judicial. All such methods impose the appilcation of the relevant legal bases to settle the said disputes in provision of set of principles and evidences that cOllstitute the legal framework for . the settlement. But the most important principle to be provided is the principle of the border stability which is considered al> conclusive. The border stability is usually proved by a number of evidence especially the relevant international conventio, n, the principle of "everyone shall have what is in his possession", the subsequent behaviour of the parties concerned, the principle of shut- down (if required) and the official maps (if any). Having, considered and analysed the said pillars of the border stability, it was found that borders and conventions are not affected by the successions of the states nor by the change of the international circumstances.The study has concentrated on the border dispuJes in the . Arabic gulf area p particularly the Saudi Yemeni dispute and the .displlte the between Qatar and Bahain in compression with the judicial antecedents and the previous juristic stlldies. The study, aiso, reviewed the legal activities done by the cooperative council for the Arabic Gulf States D.S a regional , .. organization, such as the resolutions, recommendations and agreements. . The method applied in this study IS the analytical, histori.cal and comparative method. Recommendation: 1. The international borders are considered as one of the principle elements of the national security and sovereignty for any state. I 2. The disputes of the international borders are of political and ' .. legal aspects and we cannot pretend that some of them arc not subject to law or else a denial of the international law may be understood.
