What is an example of a locational boundary dispute?
An example of a locational boundary dispute is the dispute between Chile and Argentina over the Beagle Channel. The dispute is over the sovereignty of the islands in the channel, including Picton, Lennox, and Nueva. The dispute dates back to the 19th century and has been the cause of several conflicts between the two countries. In 1978, the two countries almost went to war over the issue and only a last-minute agreement prevented conflict. The dispute was eventually settled in 1984 by the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Chile and Argentina.
