<div id="ygrps-yiv-1884398656">Great List.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
   As others have pointed out it missed Hans Island which, by memory, <br/>
was first pointed out to this group via one of those CIA fact sheets <br/>
then Jesper found a few maps actually locating the island.<br/>
   More on Hans Island later as I found out some weird info on it.<br/>
<br/>
    The only other dispute I can think of that isn&#39;t listed is that <br/>
the US owned Navassa Island is claimed by both Haiti and Jamaica.  <br/>
That Haitian fishermen camp there and its claimed by Haiti are all <br/>
thats listed.<br/>
<br/>

&gt; nice shooting artur <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; this is practically the entire pandemonium in a single scatter <br/>
&gt; shot of our global pandominium<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; & nice to see hans island on dedk missing from the list too<br/>
&gt; tho i could think of no other complete omission in the entire <br/>
&gt; world<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; moreover<br/>
&gt; since many of these disputes & nondisputes do or could involve <br/>
&gt; the tripoints<br/>
&gt; such as arbruy brgyve etc etc etc<br/>
&gt; i was most interested to also find only a single tripoint in the <br/>
&gt; entire world actually mentioned here by name<br/>
&gt; namely benin niger nigeria our bjneng<br/>
&gt; & mentioned 3 times of course or once under each country<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; yet the state department kind of blew it after all<br/>
&gt; since they mention this point only to make the point that it is <br/>
&gt; undemarcated<br/>
&gt; while we already know from brownlie that it stands on the <br/>
&gt; median line of a river <br/>
&gt; at its intersection with a cairn monumented geodetic line<br/>
&gt; & thus would be better characterized not as any sort of a dispute <br/>
&gt; at all but as a perfectly normal indirectly demarcated wetpoint<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; so with those 2 really remarkable exceptions<br/>
&gt; i think you probably have complete coverage of the borders here<br/>
&gt; & complete oversight of the tripoints </span></blockquote></div>
