The Line of Control established by India and Pakistan over the disputed region of Kashmir. The Nine-Dash Line is a disputed maritime demarcation line in the South China Sea between China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia claimed by the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China. The Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled China's maritime claims and the nine-dash line to be illegal in the Philippines v. China case, and the line continues to be a major source of international dispute.
