Belarus
1997 boundary treaty with Ukraine remains unratified over
unresolved financial claims, preventing demarcation and diminishing
border security; the whole boundary with Latvia and more than half
the boundary with Lithuania remains undemarcated; discussions toward
economic and political union with Russia proceed slowly

Belgium
none

Belize
Guatemalan squatters continue to settle in the largely
uninhabited rain forests of Belize's border region; OAS seeks to
revive the 2002 failed Belize-Guatemala Differendum that created a
small adjustment to land boundary, a Guatemalan maritime corridor in
Caribbean, joint ecological park for disputed Sapodilla Cays, and
substantial US-UK financial package

Benin
Benin and Burkina Faso military clash in 2006 over sections of
riverine boundary involving disputed villages and squatters; much of

boundary disputes, but clashes among rival gangs along the border

boundary with Togo to verify Benin's claim that Togo moved boundary
stones

Bermuda

Bhutan
approximately 105,000 Bhutanese have lived decades as

Montenegro have delimited most of their boundary, but sections along
the Drina River remain in dispute; discussions continue with Croatia
on several small disputed sections of the boundary related to
maritime access that hinder ratification of the 1999 border agreement

Botswana
commission established with Namibia has yet to resolve
small residual disputes along the Caprivi Strip, including the
Situngu marshlands along the Linyanti River; downstream Botswana
residents protest Namibia's planned construction of the Okavango
