<div id="ygrps-yiv-2143579540">they have long agreed to agree about the relatively minor issue <br/>
of a limbang corridor<br/>
<br/>
the real disagreement involves their rich overlapping eez claims<br/>
& i imagine<br/>
since coastal possession could affect the maritime settlement<br/>
it is another catch 22 caught in slow motion before our eyes<br/>
& practically motionless since last reported in message 11391<br/>
<br/>
however polite a dispute in this instance<br/>
<br/>
& maybe not really & necessarily a dispute at all strictly speaking<br/>
<br/>
brownlie says<br/>
as a matter of political fact<br/>
as reflected in international law<br/>
the concept of a dispute involves certain specific elements<br/>
<br/>
it involves a disagreement between 2 states on a point of law or <br/>
fact<br/>
which disagreement is normally manifested by the making of a <br/>
claim or protest<br/>
<br/>
the claim or protest should be expressed by properly authorized <br/>
agents at the appropriate level & in the appropriate form<br/>
<br/>
in diplomatic exchanges<br/>
<br/>
in applications sent to the registry of the international court of <br/>
justice<br/>
<br/>
at a session of a diplomatic conference<br/>
<br/>
or at a session of a meeting of an international organization<br/>
<br/>
& the claim or position expressed in the form of a protest must <br/>
be opposed by the other state concerned<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
only a proportion of the situations catalogued by some authors <br/>
qualify as<br/>
disputes<br/>
<br/>
& he goes on qualifying & annihilating them for pages<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so i think you may or may not have an actual dispute here<br/>
& thank goodness if not<br/>
tho it appears you do at least have an outstanding disagreement <br/>
within an agreement<br/>
& a negotiation stalled as usual in power politics<br/>
<br/>
