Important Boundary Lines of the World

The line which demarcates two countries (areas of property) is known as the Boundary Line. For example, the Line Of Control (LOC) is the boundary line between India (Kashmir) and Pakistan.

What is the International Border?

An international border is the space between sovereign states that is defined by an international boundary. A single government has entire jurisdiction within its borders, which is unaffected by other governments. As a result, the border serves to indicate the maximum extent of space over which a government has control.
