DOI: PRINCIPLE OF ACQUISITION PRESCRIPTION IN INTERNATIONAL LAW ON SEA AND ISLAND DISPUTE SETTLEMENT: A CASE OF VIETNAM’S SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE HOANG SA AND TRUONG SA ARCHIPELAGOES
Dr. Le Lan Anh , Institute Of Americas Studies Vietnam Academy Of Social Sciences, VietnamAbstract
There have been many disputes over territorial sovereignty between countries, lasting many years with different viewpoints, principles, and historical shreds of evidence between countries. In order to thoroughly settle territorial disputes between countries, since the Berlin Convention in 1885, most countries in the world, including Vietnam, have agreed to apply the principle of acquiring territory in sovereignty dispute settlement among countries. Establishing a country's sovereignty over territories must be based on the rules of international law on territorial acquisition. It plays an essential role in resolving territorial disputes. Territorial acquisition regulations help address the question of how a state can legally establish sovereignty over a new territory against the claims of other states. These are also the legal principles that Vietnam has relied on to prove and affirm Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos in the East Sea.
