Territorial disputes are very complex and sensitive issues in international relations, and solving these issues requires caution and wisdom. Resolving territorial disputes by force often leads to greater conflicts, humanitarian disasters, and long-term instability, which not only has a profound impact on the countries concerned, but may also spread to the entire region and even the world. ### Why shouldn't territorial disputes be resolved by force? 1. **Humanitarian cost**: War and conflict will cause a large number of civilian casualties and displacement, causing an incalculable humanitarian disaster. 2. **Destruction of international law and order**: The modern international community generally advocates the settlement of disputes by peaceful means. Resolving disputes by force will undermine international law and order and weaken the trust and cooperation of the international community. 3. **Long-term instability**: Settlement by force may temporarily achieve some kind of ”victory", but it often sows the seeds of hatred and contradictions, leading to long-term instability and conflict. 4. **Economic and social costs**: War consumes a lot of resources, destroys infrastructure, hinders economic development, and places a heavy burden on the country and society. ### A better solution 1. **Diplomatic negotiations**: Through dialogue and negotiation, seeking a solution acceptable to both parties is the preferred way to resolve territorial disputes. 2. **International arbitration**: Use the International Court of Justice, the United Nations and other international organizations to resolve disputes peacefully through legal channels. 3. **Multilateral cooperation**: Under the regional or multilateral framework, resolve disputes through cooperation and consultation to enhance mutual trust. 4. **Confidence-building measures**: Through confidence-building measures, misunderstandings and misjudgments are reduced, and conditions are created for the peaceful settlement of disputes. ### Conclusion Peace and development are the themes of today's world. Resolving territorial disputes through peaceful means is not only in the common interests of the international community, but also respects the progress of human civilization. Resolving disputes by force will only bring more pain and destruction, and only through dialogue and cooperation can long-term peace and stability truly be achieved. I hope that we can all contribute to the peace and prosperity of the world with wisdom and tolerance.
