	Boundary Commission (United Kingdom) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United Kingdom, the four Boundary Commissions are responsible for determining the boundaries of House of Commons constituencies.
		The Commissions are currently established under the Boundary Commissions Act 1986, although they were first established under early legislation after the Second World War.
		The Boundary Commissions are required by law to take local government boundaries into account when determining constituencies.

	21 MARCH 2003
		The Commission’s readiness to consider in that way the Parties’ subsequent conduct was not intended to mean, and cannot be taken to mean, that the Commission would now be receptive to additional evidence of that conduct or would itself seek to gather it.
		The boundary line drawn, for example, in the area of the so-called Belesa and Endeli Projections is not a provisional line subject to further consideration by the Commission of new evidence of State practice in those areas.
		As the Commission indicated in its Delimitation Decision, its approach to the task of delimiting the boundary between Eritrea and Ethiopia was dictated by the December 2000 Agreement, in which the Parties stipulated that the Commission’s mandate was to determine the boundary on the basis of the three Treaties and applicable international law.

	The International Joint Commission: Canada and the United States of America
		Industrial development in both countries, which in the humid eastern border region relied on water resources primarily for waste disposal, had led to decreasing water quality along their shared border to the point where, by the early years of the twentieth century, it was in the interest of both countries to seriously address the matter.
		Crossing these boundaries are some of the richest waterways in the world, not least of which are the vast water resources of the five Great Lakes.
		The International Joint Commission has met some criticism over the years; most recently some have questioned whether the limited authority of the Commission -- politically necessary when the Commission was established -- is really conducive to the "eco-system" approach called for in the 1987 Protocol, or whether greater supra-legal powers are necessary.

		This commission reported, informally, the completion of the entire survey on December 18, 1855 (having spent nearly $100,000 less than its appropriation), and Emory submitted a four-part, two-volume report, later published by Congress, which included elaborate illustrations and descriptions of climate, flora, fauna, topography, and anthropology made by scientists who accompanied the commission.

	A just decision of the Boundary Commission will enhance regional peace
		As April 13 draws nearer, the predictable anxiety shrouding the decision of the Boundary Commission is palpable.
		The treaties are not only explicit but the boundary has survived, without variation, during the period of Italian colonialism from the turn of the past century until 1940s, British Military Administration (1941-1952), the federation period, and subsequent Ethiopian annexation during the Haile Selassie and Mengistu regimes.
		Chauvinist intellectuals in Europe and the US are in vain questioning the legitimacy of the Boundary Commission and unabashedly calling for the re-colonization of Eritrea in contravention of international law and the myriad resolutions of the Security Council respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of both countries.
