The case at once assumed great significance as a beacon of hope for the region which is plagued by numerous disruptive territorial disputes. As both the historical evidence and legal milieu are vital considerations for the ICJ to award sovereignty, this book covers in detail the historical roots of the issue as well as the law dimension pertaining to the process of legal proceedings and the ICJ deliberations. The work concludes by offering a set of guidelines on cardinal principles of international law for successfully supporting a claim to disputed territories. These may be usefully utilized by interested parties. "An invaluable account of the dispute between Malaysia and Indonesia over the Sipadan and Ligitan Islands. Written skillfully by a historian who is in clear command of the facts. Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to understand border disputes in Southeast Asia.";Professor James Chin, Director, Asia Institute, University of Tasmania 606 $aBoundary disputes$zIndonesia 606 $aBoundary disputes$zMalaysia 606 $aIslands$xLaw and legislation 607 $aIndonesia$xBoundaries$zMalaysia 607 $aMalaysia$xBoundaries$zIndonesia 615 0$aBoundary disputes 615 0$aBoundary disputes 615 0$aIslands$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a956.053 700 $aRanjit Singh$01555667 712 02$aISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794100903321 996 $aThe Indonesia-Malaysia dispute concerning sovereignty over Sipadan and Ligitan Islands$93817745 997 $aUNINA
