In 17 December 2002 The International Court of Justice principal judicial organ of the United Nations, given Judgment in the case Indonesia - Malaysia for territorial claiming that both islands belongs to Malaysia.
These islands, Sipadan and Ligitan, located in the Sulawesi Sea (Celebes Sea) are very beautiful place.
In its Judgment, which is final, without appeal and binding for the Parties, the Court finds, by sixteen votes to one, that "sovereignty over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan belongs to Malaysia". Ligitan and Sipadan are two very small islands located in the Celebes Sea, off the north-east coast of the island of Borneo.
Nowdays these islands of Malaysia nominated as 7 wonders (Komodo island in Indonesia nominated but at 9th rank).Well, there's nothing to say but: "you'll never know what you've got till it's gone"
