Abstract Note

Effective control, or the uncontested administration of the land, is the principal legal claim and the basis of international law. However, historical claims, notably those grounded on priority and duration, are the most emotional. Cultural claims are based on the ties of a group of people to one another and to the land. Territorial integrity is built on the perceived sense of unity of landmasses. Economic claims maintain that control of territories is essential to the viability of the claimant state. Elitist claims assert that a particular minority has the power of dominion in a territory. Ideological claims arise from an ideology itself. The first four categories are conservative and are generally the strongest; the other three tend to be dynamic.
