Arctic Boundary Commission

The Arctic Boundary Commission is a diplomatic body established by countries with interests in the Arctic region, primarily to define and agree upon the geographical boundaries and territorial claims in the Arctic. Its purpose is to promote cooperation, resolve disputes, and manage resources like oil, gas, and fisheries responsibly. By facilitating dialogue among Arctic nations, the commission helps ensure peaceful and sustainable development while respecting international laws governing territorial borders in this sensitive and increasingly accessible region.
