Territorial Status in International Law

Jure Vidmar

This book develops a new theory of territorialism and international legal status of territories. It (i) defines the concept of territory, explaining how territories are created; (ii) redefines the concept of statehood, illustrating that statehood (rather than the statehood criteria) is territorial legal status established in the formal sources of international law; and (iii) grounds non-state territorial entities in the sources of international law to explain their international legal status.

This fresh new theoretical perspective has both scholarly and practical importance, providing a tool helping decision-makers and judges in the practical application of international law both internationally and domestically.

Jure Vidmar is Chair of Public International Law at the Faculty of Law, Maastricht University, the Netherlands, and Member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague.
