I would not expect it to be a problem to find out which borders are disputed, 
the disputes are generally known. A more difficult question could be people 
claiming land, where they aren’t a country, e.g. Palestine or Tibet, because in 
these cases it might be less questionable that there are significant claims, 
but there will be also many more, less known, and claimed by less people, down 
to single individuals which claim sovereignty. We would have to give workable 
and appropriate definitions where we draw the line.

Cheers, Martin
