This seems to be the 2nd peaceful resolution method - ie. asking a trusted source for arbitration.

This is better than skirmishes.

  And to recap what are the 3 Wholesome Resolution methods with the "Neighbor Dispute Analogy" :-
  Wholesome, peaceful and responsible ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” :-
  
  (1) direct talk and negotiate in a peaceful manner to resolve the dispute (through give-and-take attitude, through sweeten deals by incorporating other economic deals to resolve the territorial claim)
  
  (2) call a 3rd party – eg. Police, counsellor or someone where both can trust to settle the dispute in a rational, logical and adult manner – with “give and take attitude”.
  
  (3) Both neighbors subject themselves to Court Arbitration process – by producing documents to support their claim and honour the Court Judgement. This measure is undertaken by Singapore and Malaysia claim on 5 outcrop rocks follow by sweeten deals by incorporating other economic deals to resolve the territorial claim.
  
  So this method of calling UN for arbitration is peaceful resolution Number 2 - call a 3rd party for arbitration.

  And not :-
  Unwholesome ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” :-
  
  (1) Quarrel and argue loudly – and this will disturb the neighborhood
  
  (2) Fight it out – and start throwing things at one another – and hurt other neighbors or passerby with flying objects
  
  (3) Call their family members, friends, relatives to outnumber one another in a big fight – and other neighbors and passerby also caught in the big fight and got injured
  
  (4) Use weapons such as iron bar, knives or even guns to shoot at one another or even throw firebombs at one another– and other neighbors and passerby also get injured or even kick the buckets and both the houses got burned down.
  
  This disturb the peace of whole Asia-Pacific region - and affect the interest of all the countries within the whole Asia-Pacific region.
