| 单词 | Terra nullius |
| 释义 | 無主地／無人擁有之地 Lat - land belonging to no one. Land which has never belonged to any state, or over which its previous sovereign has stopped exercising authority, with the intention of abandoning it. Such land is subject to claim, and its sovereignty may be acquired only through occupation and control amounting to first possession of the territory: Island of Palmas Case (US v The Netherlands) (1928) II RIAA 829. Land inhibited by peoples who have a social and political organisation is not terra nullius: Western Sahara Case 1975 ICJ 12. The principle of terra nullius was widely used by British colonists to deny the existence of indigenous peoples, their law, and government. Territories inhabited by non-European peoples and their institutions were regarded as legally non-existent: Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1. The validity of the terra nullius principle in international law is questionable: Western Sahara Case, supra. 拉丁語 – 不屬於任何人的土地。從來未屬於任何國家，或過去的主權因有意放棄它而停止向它行使權力的土地。這些土地受申索的局限，而其主權僅可通過構成對該地區的第一次管有的佔領及控制而取得：Island of Palmas Case (US v The Netherlands) (1928) II RIAA 829。由有社會及政治組織的人居住的土地不屬無主地：Western Sahara Case 1975 ICJ 12。無主地的原則廣為英國殖民地主義者使用，以否認土著、他們的法律及政府的存在。由非歐洲人及其組織居住的地區被視為在法律上不存在者：Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1。在國際法上，無主地原則是否有效屬一個疑問：Western Sahara Case, 見上文。 |
