Question: Regarding territorial disputes, do you have accurate information to determine the ownership of the territory?
Answer: To determine the ownership of a territory, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various accurate and legally binding data, which mainly include the following categories: ### Historical data 1. **Ancient literature records** - Ancient historical books, official records, and geographies of many countries have detailed records of the scope of the country's territory at that time. For example, ancient Chinese classics such as "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Book of Han" have certain descriptions of the geographical location and administrative divisions of the border areas of various dynasties, providing important clues for studying the scope of territory in historical periods. - Papyrus documents in ancient Egypt record the scope of its borders and territorial changes in different periods. 2. **Historical treaties** - **Border treaties**: - Since modern times, countries have signed a series of border treaties to clarify territorial boundaries. For example, the Sino-Russian "Treaty of Nerchinsk" clearly demarcated the eastern section of the Sino-Russian border, and legally confirmed that the vast areas of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, including Sakhalin Island, are Chinese territory. - The Sino-Indian border issue involves the "McMahon Line" illegally demarcated during the British colonial rule in history, which seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty. The Chinese government has always believed that the "McMahon Line" is illegal and invalid, and has never recognized it in any treaty. - **Cession treaties**: Some unequal treaties led to the cession of territory. For example, the Treaty of Aihui signed between the Qing government and Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia ceded more than 600,000 square kilometers of territory south of the Greater Khingan Range and north of the Heilongjiang River in Northeast China. The signing and content of these treaties are important bases for judging changes in territorial ownership. 3. **Historical maps** - Official maps of different periods are a direct reflection of the scope of territory. For example, the ancient Chinese "Huangyu Quanlan Tu" and "Qianlong Neifu Yutu" detailed the territory of China at that time. These maps are important physical evidence of the ownership of the territory at that time, reflecting a country's cognition and actual control of its territory at a specific historical stage. - Maps drawn by other countries in the world at different times may also become a reference for judging territorial ownership. If these maps were officially authoritative at the time and clearly marked the ownership of the relevant territories, they would be of certain value in clarifying territorial disputes. ### Geographical data 1. **Natural geographical boundaries** - **Mountains**: Mountains often become natural geographical boundaries. For example, the Himalayas are of great significance in the demarcation of the Sino-Indian border. China advocates the traditional customary line as the basis. The natural direction of the Himalayas constitutes an important reference for the Sino-Indian border, and its northern slope area has been part of China's territory since ancient times. - **Rivers**: Rivers can also be used as boundary markers. For example, the Heilongjiang River is an important boundary river on the Sino-Russian border. The centerline of its main channel has long been the boundary line between the two countries in history. According to the river boundary principle in international law, the direction of the river and related regulations are crucial to determining territorial ownership. - **Marine landforms**: Marine landforms play a key role in maritime territorial disputes. For example, in the judgment of the ownership of islands and reefs, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other relevant international laws, the natural form, geological structure and other characteristics of islands and reefs determine whether they can generate marine rights and interests such as territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. For example, there are many islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and its surrounding waters. This is based on the history, geography and other factors of the islands and reefs, including China's earliest discovery, naming and development and utilization of these islands and reefs, as well as its long-term jurisdiction over them. 2. **Geological data** - The continuity and uniqueness of geological structures can be used as indirect evidence to determine territorial ownership. For example, in some areas of land border disputes, if the geological structure shows that a certain area is consistent with the geological system of a country's territory, it has a certain weight in the consideration of territorial division. This helps to further prove the rationality of territorial ownership from the perspective of the inherent connection of natural geography. - The distribution of underground resources is also related to territorial ownership. The distribution of underground mineral resources in some areas may be related to the historical territorial jurisdiction. For example, the history of mineral resource mining in a certain area and the development plan of the country to which it belongs for the underground resources in the area can reflect the territorial ownership of the area from the side. ### International law materials 1. **"Charter of the United Nations"** - Its purposes and principles are the basic norms of contemporary international relations, which emphasize the principles of respecting the sovereign equality and territorial integrity of all countries. The settlement of any territorial dispute should be based on these principles. For example, the illegal occupation of another country's territory by one country is a clear violation of the spirit and principles of the UN Charter and is not recognized by the international community. 2. **Border system related treaties** - The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides detailed provisions on the conclusion, validity, and interpretation of treaties. When territorial disputes involve relevant border treaties, the convention provides a legal framework for the accurate understanding and application of treaty provisions. For example, the interpretation of historical border treaties needs to be based on the relevant provisions of the convention.
