Abstract: The arbitration between Eritrea and Yemen is another important award concerning the territorial sovereignty delivered by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in Hague after the award of Palmas Island, and it is the first case involving the territorial dispute between an Asia country and an African country. The award is accepted and abided by the parties, establishing a good model of resolving the disputes through the international judicial authorities. The tribunal in this case made some innovations and breakthrough about the doctrine of critical date, historic title and historic consolidation, and provided some guidance and reference to the disputes China involves with the neighboring states.

Key words: territorial sovereignty, historic title, historic consolidation, effective possession
