International law is always in a state of permanent crisis of varying degrees of intensity. Its importance and effectiveness vary diametrically. It is also seen as the only guarantee of peace and security in the world. And they recognize that current international law is not a sufficient and reliable tool. From the most devastating conflicts, international law has emerged stronger and moved into a new, more progressive phase of its development. But to take international law a step further, one must have a solid support, a foundation. An important block of this foundation is the Encyclopedia of International Law in three volumes, published in the Academic Periodical Publishing House (Kyiv, 2014-2019).

In the study of the substantive legal grounds for the resolution of territorial disputes, 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 state possessing sovereignty over the grounds of actual title (effective occupation and governning of the territory, tacit recognition, prescriptional acquisition). Like the initial occupation, the acquisition of territory on the basis of prescription has a long and effective occupation of territory as a prerequisite. The possession of alien or contested territory without a treaty may be legal and enforceable only when there is an inviolable, uninterrupted and undisputed exercise of possession. Where the disputable territory is in fact administrated by a state other than that which holds title, the International Court of Justice gives preference to the title holder.
