Solution of Territory Dispute and Effective Control Principle

Abstract

In recent years due to the crucial location
and also the snatching of important national resources
such as oil and gas from the sea bottom, disputes
about territories between countries rise constantly,
such as disputes from those islands in South China
Sea, conflicts disputes for Diaoyu Island between
China and Japan, the belonging of Dokdo Island for
Korea (Takeshimar for Japan) which have already
become a typical but tough issue to solve. The
Effective Control Principle, as a international
principle for solving disputes, is becoming more and
more popular and adaptable in the judicial practice of
Hague International Court of Justice. Whereas the
concept of effective control principle become another
tricky issue, as a prior-definition, to challenge the
International Court of Justice. How to make a clear
concept of effective control, and finding a better way
to solve the territory dispute, acceptable for all
concerned parties is still beyond the expectation of the
world people
