Hausdorff vs Hamiganda

42:26 : Uti possidetis juris or uti possidetis iuris (Latin for "as [you] possess under law") is a principle of international law which provides that newly formed sovereign states should retain the internal borders that their preceding dependent area had before their independence. Uti possidetis juris is a modified form of uti possidetis; created for the purpose of avoiding terra nullius, the original version of uti possidetis began as a Roman law governing the rightful possession of property. During the medieval period it evolved into a law governing international relations and has recently (1820s) been modified for situations related to newly independent states.

Controversially, the doctrine has been claimed in relation to Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, although (with the exception of East Jerusalem since 1980) Israel has not claimed these territories explicitly, and withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
