La jurisprudence internationale est portée à faire intervenir la prescription dans deux cas: quand il y a discussion sur le point de savoir si le territoire a été abandonné par derelictio et est dès lors redevenu res nullius au moment de l'occupation par un État tiers; quand la notification a fait défaut lors de l'établissement de l'autorité étatique. Dans ces hypothèses, la jurisprudence internationale admet la prescription s'il y a silence du souverain initial et possession paisible, c'est-à-dire exercice effectif, continu et sans lacunes de la souveraineté territoriale. 1, record 1, French, - derelictio
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La perte de la souveraineté territoriale par abandon. Pour autant qu'il n'existe pas de souveraineté, la question d'un abandon de la souveraineté - au sens propre du mot - par un État pour que la souveraineté d'un autre puisse prendre sa place ne peut s'élever. 2, record 1, French, - derelictio
