In a hypothetical territorial dispute before the International Court of Justice one of the Justices said to the parties:
There is some merit in the proposition that if a State occupies territory to the exclusion of all others that State's sovereignty should be unassailable. This is especially so when new territory appears on or out of the sea.
Critically analyse that statement with reference to current territorial disputes and/or anticipated disputes. Ensure you refer to relevant treaties and case law.
