Sovereignty over Certain Frontier
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The frontier between the two States in the area where the two plots in dispute are situated presents certain unusual features. Whilst the frontier in general is a linear one, in the area north of the Belgian town of Turnhout there are a number of enclaves formed by the Belgian commune of BaerleDuc and the Netherlands commune of Baarle-Nassau. The territory of the Belgian commune of Baerle-Duc is not continuous. It is made up of a series of plots of land, many of which are enclosed in the Netherlands commune of Baarle-Nassau. Various pieces of the commune of Baerle-Duc are not only isolated from the main territory of Belgium but also one from another. Neither is the territory of the commune of BaarleNassau continuous: that commune has enclaves within Belgium. The Court is informed that the origin of this situation is very ancient.
