NLL issue in terms of assessing the legitimacy of the conflicting positions of the two Koreas, and even just within South Korea have their differences. Maritime demarcation line is not clearly identified in the Armistice Agreement. Just five western islands(PAENGYONG-DO, TAECOHNG-DO,SOCHONG-DO, YONPYONG-DO, U-DO) were placed on separate regulations. That is just the boundary of Hwanghae Province and Gyeonggi Province intended to show control over the western islands, western five islands is a rule that a lines can not be connected. These limits in the truce talks was the result of compromise between the opinions of both sides. The conflict in western sea is not been expressly due to that Maritime Demarcation Line is not explicit. In the Eastern Sea, extension of the Military Demarcation Line in the ground has been implicitly recognized as a Maritime demarcation line between the parties unliked Western sea.

Therefore territorial issue was a issue, the Communist side conceded jurisdiction of the western five islands(서해 5도) by the UN. View the process of truce talks, the two sides agreed that extension of the Military Demarcation Line of the ground as the maritime border. After the debate, the final agreement was determined by the forces of both sides.
