not having clearly defined borders can lead to confusion when it comes to safely and legally crossing borders. this can be a problem for international security and can make international security officer's jobs a lot more difficult

well it would be easier for illegals to get in and not go through the correct process because everyone likes to cut corners, so having proper border security would help a little and having more security in possibly airports and harbors.

It can create less of a dispute around things such as a lake or river because if one country claimed the entire thing, then it could create a dispute between the countries, hurting alliance possibilities. Without clearly defined borders, it kind of creates a trust between the countries, aiding the possibility of alliances.

I believe that not having borders between countries would be so important for national security because they wouldn’t know where their jurisdiction ends.

Not having distinct borders can be an issue in international security because of feuding countries

It could start a dispute on whether a certain amount of land belongs to a specific country. Turf wars/territory wars. (Like ring-tailed lemur troops vs, another troop.)

Not having clearly defined borders between countries would be important for international security because it’ll take the stress off of them looking for people sneaking in

Correct response: it’ll stress the security out on who’s coming in and if their dangerous with bad intentions

With no clearly defined borders I could slip into another country do something that’s illegal in that country but not mines and get confused

Someone could invade the country more easily if they wanted to take over. Smuggling things would be a lot easier.

Not having clearly defined borders leads to issues in who owns what territory and resources. This can lead to disputes and escalate to war.

Having clearly defined boarders is important to making clear and consistent to make decisions of how laws are placed.

not having clearly defined borders can become a dispute between two countries that could go from arguments to even war.

Not having clearly defined borders between countries can confuse countries when it comes to what the land is used for.

if there's a drug chain or an international crime, and the borders aren't clearly marked, a dispute could start over which country is to blame

Can cause confusion.

not having defined boarders means that any crime can spread and each country wont even know if its supposed to act or not.

without clearly distinguished borders, terrorism could get very out of control because terrorists could just hop across the border without any issues to wreck havoc on a nation without consequences

Having not defined borders might cause conflict between countries because of territorial claims.

It's important to have clearly defined borders so that no two countries both claim the same piece of land and fight over it

nichols

because it show who owns what and it help with thing like trade

Sweden

Not having clearly defined borders would mean that there would be confusion on who has jurisdiction over what, especially over lakes and rivers and whatnot.
