In the study of the substantive legal grounds for the resolution of territorialdisputes, the judicial form is characterized by the priority of the grounds of legal title(agreemental title, uti possidetis) based on international treaties, or legal acts of the statepossessing sovereignty over the grounds of actual title (effective occupation andgovernning of the territory, tacit recognition, prescriptional acquisition). Like the initialoccupation, the acquisition of territory on the basis of prescription has a long and effectiveoccupation of territory as a prerequisite. The possession of alien or contested territorywithout a treaty may be legal and enforceable only when there is an inviolable,uninterrupted and undisputed exercise of possession. Where the disputable territory is infact administrated by a state other than that which holds title, the International Court ofJustice gives preference to the title holder.
