FORMALLY FROZEN DISPUTE See also Demilitarized Zone The Antarctic Treaty System , formed on 1 December 1959 and entered into force on 23 June 1961 , establishes the legal framework for the management of Antarctica and provides administration for the continent, which is carried out through consultative member meetings. It freezes the Territorial Claims of all signatories (all claimants have acceded) for as long as the treaty is in force. However, it is not a final settlement; parties can choose to withdraw from the System at any time. Furthermore, only a minority of states have signed it, and it is not formally sanctioned by the United Nations . Thus, Antarctica remains the only part of the planet any (non-signatory) state can still lay claim to as Terra Nullius (on the grounds of it not having been part of any existing state's legal and effective territory). When the Constitution Of The Republic Of China was adopted on 25 December 1947 , the Republic Of China did recognize the statehood of the People's Republic Of Mongolia . After the UN General Assembly Resolution 505 was passed in 1952, the Republic of China withdrew such a recognition in 1953 and therefore claimed Mongolia . The Republic of China has once again recognized the statehood of Mongolia in 2002, thus freezing the territorial claim, but as the Constitution of the Republic of China still mentions Mongolia in Article 119 that has not been superceded, there are different opinions as to whether such a recognition is constitutional.
