Purpose of International Borders

Understanding the objectives and functions of international boundaries is critical in determining its relations to peace, integration, and development of a nation-state or a sub-region. Boundaries serve different purposes and have numerous functions depending on what those are, who drew them, what they had in mind and what those living along them want to use them for. The nature of an international boundary also has an impact on the livelihoods of local communities affecting the stability of a nation-state. Being knowledgeable of the essence, purposes and functions of international borders is very helpful when dealing with disputes relating to their location, management and administration.

Such knowledge is critical in diffusing inter-state border tensions and providing solutions such as altering boundaries or changing their functions to make them more flexible and open to passage. Their existence and location determine the purposes and aims of international borders. Some of a boundary’s objectives and ambitions may be common to states while many others may reflect the specific characteristics of communities.

Many factors such as security, trade, cross-border population movements and illegal activities across the borders influence the State’s attitude to its boundaries. A boundary’s function and location also affect borderland populations. It is inconceivable to define a State in international law without a territory or a geographical area.
