Every country has relation with another country both bilateral and multilateral relation known as International relation. The relation between country and individual or country and international organization is not always plait well. Sometimes this relation causes a dispute between them. The dispute comes from factors such us border area, natural resource, environmental damage, trade etc. when the dispute happens, there are some efforts to solve it whether in diplomatic way or war (military way). This paper will discuss about the best way to resolve international dispute.
Negotiation is one of the diplomatic ways and the most important way in solving a dispute. Some countries prefer to do negotiation as a first step to solve their international dispute. In negotiation, both countries will discuss directly to look for the solution of their dispute through dialogue without intervention from the third side. When negotiation is successful, the result will be poured on peace agreement document. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that negotiation will solve the dispute because one of parties is stubborn and maintain its opinion especially when the country has stronger bargain. There will be political stress to the week country.
Moreover, military way (war) is also claimed and practiced internationally/globally. Even war has become a tool and international policy. War has been used by some countries to force their interests in the forms of rights and understandings about international public rule. War is an action of independence country. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the U.S, Robert Lansing, in 1919 says;to declare war is one of the highest acts of sovereignty. However, because of the development of weapon of mass destruction technology, international society becomes more aware about the danger of war. In addition to that, war will not resolve the dispute. Instead, war will create bigger dispute between countries because war means violence. In the war there will be some irresponsible countries that will take advantage from the war by selling their guns or doing military intervention on one of them.

To sum up, solving the dispute between countries in international world is important. Both negotiation and military action are the rights of every country in the world. Each government has right to decide the best way of solving the dispute. As independence country we must maintain our international relation with other countries. Government must put every diplomatic possibility as first way to resolve the dispute. In order that war will not become the way of solving the dispute or at least we decrease the using of war.
