Towards a comprehensive international boundary making model
Srebro, Haim and Maxim Shoshany
This article discusses the theory of boundary making, including a process driven methodological model. It is a result of a long term practice and study covering wide diversity of topics: from political and technical to stages of precise documentation and boundary maintenance. In this article precise boundary definitions are discussed in light of existing theoretical research, and the order of precedence of boundary definitions and the implementation of precedence of practical evidences. A new modern methodological model to support boundary making is introduced. A special importance is given to the operation of a joint team of experts along the process, taking responsibility over all the technical activities. The model is based on many practical cases, reflecting decisions of the ICJ, international tribunals, existing theory and international practice, as well as the practice of the authors in various cases, especially with regard to the boundary making process of the international boundary between Israel and Jordan which serves as a case study for the research.
