Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-05): The Dollart (German name, pronounced [ˈdɔlaʁt]) or Dollard (Dutch name, pronounced [ˈdɔlɑrt]) is a bay in the Wadden Sea between the northern Netherlands and Germany, on the west side of the estuary of the Ems river. Most of it dries at low tide. Many water birds feed there. Gaining from and losing to the sea [edit]According to legend, the Dollart Bay was created by a catastrophic storm surge in 1277,[1] covering the district of Rheiderland and large parts of the Oldambt district. The flood was rumoured to have caused 80,000 deaths.[2] The story, however, is not true and based on legend instead of facts.[3][4][5] The Dollart was created as a slow inundation over many centuries[6] which accumulated in a storm surge in 1509. The 1509 surge extended the Dollart, and flooded 30 more villages,[5] and by 1520 the Dollart had its largest extension. Between the 16th and the 20th centuries, two thirds of the drowned area was reclaimed.

Evidence (2012-03-04): I’m not going to split hairs or anything, but from here on out you won’t ever hear the word Dollard come from my keyboard. It’s the Dollart. Dollard is the Dutch name for this bay found along the German/Netherland border around the Ems Estuary. [...] What created the Dollard Bay in the first place? It’s believed that it wasn’t a natural occurrence, happening when Frisian fighting factions ruined the dikes that protected the waterway in the Middle Ages. [...] You know what else is famous up here? That’s right, bird watching (a variety of species of goose like the salty marshes and brackish water, I guess).Plus, the area where you’ll find the Dollart technically belongs to the Wadden Sea National Park (the Lower Saxony section).
Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2018-11-30): Germany and the Netherlands are separated by a land border of roughly 354 miles long that is situated in the eastern section of the Netherlands. The border touches on several provinces of the Netherlands such as Limburg, Gelderland, and Groningen. On the German side, the border touches on some states such as Nordrhein-Westfalen and Niedersachsen. According to geographical evidence, the border between the two nations starts in the northern section at the Dollart Bay. From the Dollart the border follows a southerly route and for several miles, it traces the same path as some small rivers. For close to 5 miles the border between Germany and Netherlands follows the same path as the Rhine River. For roughly 62 miles, the border follows the path charted by the Meuse valley. Due to the unique shape and numerous meanders along its length, the border between Germany and the Netherlands is considered to be somewhat irregular.
Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-06-23): Land border [edit]The border is located in the northwestern part of Germany and the east of the Netherlands. The border runs as a fairly irregular line from the shore of the Dollart bay which is part of the Ems river estuary in the north to the Belgium–Germany–Netherlands tripoint at Vaalserberg. The length of the border is around 570 kilometres (350 mi) in length, although the straight distance between the two border end points is 288 kilometres (179 mi). [...] Disputes [edit]The maritime border is disputed in a part of the Ems estuary outside the Dollart bay, where Germany has the view that the state border runs on the left bank of the Ems, while the Netherlands regards the Thalweg as its border. This is based on interpretations of old treaties. Germany relies on a bill of enfeoffment from 1464, when German Emperor Frederick III raised Ulrich I, the son of a local chieftain to the status of Imperial Count, in which the County of East Frisia is described as "von der Westeremse osterwards" (thus including the Ems). According to the Netherlands, this has lapsed in the French period – after the incorporation in France of both areas of West Frisia (now part of the Dutch provinces of Groningen and Friesland) and East Frisia (now part of the German state of Lower Saxony). Thus according to international law, the boundary should be at the center of the navigation channel.

Evidence (2012-03-04): The word "international" actually throws me off a bit. Why? Because the International Dollard Route (its official title), merely 204km/127mi long, merely represents the region around the Dollart, a small bay in the northwest of Germany and the north of the Netherlands. [...] What’s this Dollard (Dollart in English & German) that I keep mentioning anyway, you ask? Well, that’s the 100 square kilometer Dollart Bay surrounded by salty marshes and amazing local wildlife. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2017-03-21): The Dollart, or Dollard in dutch, is a bay on the Dutch-German border. In the late Middle Ages, this bay was created by floods and storm surges, drowning several villages. Now, the Dollart is an important breeding and feeding area for birds. The Dollart is a dynamic coastal nature reserve with intertidal mudflats and saltmarshes. Here salt water from the North Sea mixes with fresh water from the German river Ems and the Dutch river Westerwoldse Aa. Both the german and dutch parts of the Dollart are part of the Wadden Sea, inscribed on the Unesco World heritage list.

The ministers signed an agreement that the border will remain ambiguous and both nations will share responsibility for the area. [...] On the Dutch side, in Delfzijl, a coal power plant has been built which the German East Frisians say will pollute the river and the bay and hurt tourism - something they depend on. The government of Lower Saxony, the state to which East Frisia belongs, called it an "unfriendly act" on the part of the Dutch.

Evidence (2024-07-29): Eastern German Lower Saxony and western Dutch Lower Saxony, specifically parts of the provinces of Groningen and Drenthe, are located in the basin of the River Ems. The river enters the country at Salzbergen and flows northwards past Lingen, Meppen and Leer before terminating in the Dollart Bay at Emden.
Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2018-05-16): As already remarked, the coast-line of Holland breaks up into a series of islands at its northern and southern extremities. The principal sea-inlets in the north are the Texel Gat or Marsdiep and the Vlie, which lead past the chain of the Frisian Islands into the large inland sea or gulf called the Zuider Zee, and the Wadden or "shallows," which extend along the shores of Friesland and Groningen as far as the Dollart and the mouth of the Ems. The inland sea-board thus formed consists of low coasts of sea-clay protected by dikes, and of some high diluvial strata which rise far enough above the level of the sea to make dikes unnecessary, as in the case of the Gooi hills between Naarden and the Eem, the Veluwe hills between Nykerk and Elburg, and the steep cliffs of the Gaasterland between Oude Mirdum and Stavoren. The Dollart was formed in 1277 by the inundation of the Ems basin, more than thirty villages being destroyed at once. The Zuider Zee and the bay in the Frisian coast known as the Lauwers Zee also gradually came into existence in the 13th century.
Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2011-02-21): The German officials claim the border between the two countries should run through the Dollart – a bay between the northern Netherlands and Germany on the west side of the Ems River estuary. The exact location of the border running through these waters has been disputed for centuries, but even these differing perceptions grant Emden its harbour. However, Google’s borders grant the entire Dollart and much of the Emden harbour to the Dutch. Across the bay in Delfzijl the Dutch responded coyly to the paper’s inquiries, saying that the border is disputed and will likely remain so in the future, a situation that Emden city spokesman Eduard Dinkela told the paper was "exceedingly awkward."
Claim: Dollart bay is a territory of Netherlands (Dollart bay, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-05-16): The Netherlands and Germany have not yet agreed on the boundary of the territorial sea near the Ems estuary. Yet, there is a treaty with agreements on cooperation: the Ems-Dollard Treaty. A supplementary agreement has been added to this treaty. It only deals with the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas. The borders of the treaty and the Supplementary Agreement do not match. The maritime border is disputed in a part of the Ems estuary outside the Dollart bay, where Germany has the view that the state border runs on the left bank of the Ems, while the Netherlands regards the Thalweg as its border. This is based on interpretations of old treaties. Germany relies on a bill of enfeoffment from 1464, when German Emperor Frederick III raised Ulrich I, the son of a local chieftain to the status of Imperial Count, in which the County of East Frisia [...] There is no maritime boundary between The Netherlands (Western islands) and Germany (Eastern islands) to delimit the Territorial Sea. The current 3M limit and the current 12 M limit are shown. The Eems-Dollard (ED) treaty of 1960 is limited to the intersection of the 6 m depth line and the outer limit of the territorial sea, at that moment 3 M from the baseline. The Supplementary Agreement to the Eems-Dollard treaty is limited to the 3 M limit in 1962.

Evidence (2024-09-18): Netherlands – Germany border is 577 km long, starts in the north on the southern banks of the Ems estuary. It then follows the course of several rivers, including the Rhine before moving into the valley of the Meuse (Maas). It ends at the BEDENL tripoint in Vaalserberg, near Aachen. The two countries also share a maritime border in the Dollart bay and a maritime border running through the Frisian Islands into the North Sea. The German states which share the international border are (from north to south) Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia while on the Dutch side, the provinces are Groningen, Drente, Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg.

Claim: Doumeira Island is a territory of Djibouti (Doumeira Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-15): The Doumeira Islands (Somali: Dumeera, Tigrinya: ዱሜራ, Arabic: دميرة) are situated northeast of Djibouti and east of Eritrea near the Bab el-Mandeb in the Red Sea. They consist of Doumeira, located less than one kilometer off of the Eritrean and Djiboutian shore, and the much smaller island of Kallîda, which is 250 metres (820 ft) to the east. History [edit]The currently-in-force 1900 boundary agreement specifies that the international boundary starts at Cape Doumeira (Ras Doumeira) at the Red Sea and runs for 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) along the watershed divide of the peninsula. Furthermore, the 1900 protocol specified that Ile Doumeira (Doumeira Island) immediately offshore and its adjacent smaller islets would not be assigned sovereignty and would remain a demilitarized neutral zone.[1] In January 1935, Italy and France signed the Franco-Italian Agreement wherein, among other things, a strip of territory at the northernmost end of French Somaliland (Djibouti), including the Doumeira Islands, was ceded to Italy (Eritrea).[2] However, the question of ratification has brought this agreement, and its provision of substantial parts of Djibouti to Eritrea, into question.[3][4] In April 1996 the two countries almost went to war after a Djibouti official accused Eritrea of shelling Ras Doumeira.
Claim: Doumeira Island is a territory of Djibouti (Doumeira Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2008-10-23): There was now no other choice but to mass troops at the border and defend the territory, he said. The good offices of the African Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and of the United Nations were being sought to resolve the dispute. His country was determined to recover the entirety of its territory, including Ras Doumeira and Doumeira Island. Djibouti's forces had been withdrawn to their earlier positions in response to the Council's presidential statement. [...] The exact position of the land boundary in Ras Doumeira is critical for establishing whether Eritrea has actually occupied Djibouti territory since March, as claimed by Djibouti authorities. The position of the borderline would also be critical if the two States were to negotiate their maritime boundary on the Red Sea. In 1996, Eritrea made an attempt to seize control of Ras Doumeira. The ensuing dispute was short-lived and was resolved through bilateral mechanisms, but the question of the borderline remained unresolved, the report says. [...] He said the high point of the mission had been a visit to Doumeira, where it could see the deployment of the two forces. Given that Eritrea continued to reject efforts to diffuse the tension, it was becoming clear that Eritrea did not want to abide by international standards and obligations. Confronted with a silent aggressor, discussion could not find place. His country was determined to recover the entirety of its territory, including Ras Doumeira and Doumeira Island. Djibouti's forces had been withdrawn to the status quo ante in response to the Council's presidential statement.
Claim: Doumeira Island is a territory of Djibouti (Doumeira Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2010-03-01): In May 2008, Djibouti referred the situation in Ras Doumeira, on its border with Eritrea, to the Security Council and various regional organizations (the AU, the Arab League), denouncing the strengthening of Eritrea’s military capacities and the occupation of territories belonging to Djibouti. The two countries have a longstanding border dispute in the region, where the border—established by agreements signed by France and Italy in 1900 and 1901—has never been delineated. [...] Security Council Resolution 1862 , adopted on January 14, 2009, urges Djibouti and Eritrea to resolve their border dispute peacefully and in accordance with international law, welcomes Djibouti’s withdrawal of forces to the status quo ante, demands that Eritrea withdraw its forces and materiel to the status quo ante and ensure there is no military presence or activity in the region where the conflict took place in Ras Doumeira and Doumeira island in June 2008, that it agree to resolve the dispute through dialogue, and notably that it cooperate fully with the UN secretary-general’s good offices. [...] Mr. President, the conflict between Djibouti and Eritrea has now begun to ease. The situation remains tense, but calm on the border between these two countries; they are no longer fighting on the Doumeira promontory or Doumeira Island, and the armed forces of both countries are no longer in contact with each other. This development is to Djibouti’s credit, which, in accordance with the Security Council’s presidential declaration of 12 June past, withdrew its troops to the position of the status quo ante, thus ensuring that both armies would no longer be in contact.
