Abstract
Demilitarisation aims to prevent armed conflicts that may be triggered from border regions. Examples include the 15 year demilitarisation of Thrace between Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria agreed in 1923 at Lausanne or the short-lived demilitarisation of five small Italian islands and the partial demilitarisation of Sicily and Sardinia adopted by the Paris Peace Treaty (1947).1
