본문내용

Various arguments are presented in the disputes between nations over geographical names. One can cite legal, political, traditional, historical and academic grounds to justify a preferred name for a certain place.

The name of a sea, a gulf or a strait has little legal importance, as it rarely involves territorial rights. This is the reason why such names as the Gulf of Mexico between the United States, Mexico and Cuba and the Timor Sea between Timor and Australia are not disputed. The strait between Britain and France is rather peacefully called the English Channel by English-speaking people and la Manche by francophones. Most problematic was the dispute between the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Gulf on which the U.N. confirmed the former in 2006.
