Terra nullius
istilah hukum internasional yang berarti wilayah yang tidak pernah menjadi subjek dari negara berdaulat manapun
Terra nullius (pengucapan bahasa Inggris: [ˈtɛrə nʌˈlaɪ.əs]) adalah istilah dalam bahasa Latin yang berasal dari hukum Romawi, yang berarti "tanah yang tidak dimiliki siapapun". Istilah ini digunakan pada hukum internasional untuk wilayah tanpa kepemilikan. Wilayah terra nullius dapat dikuasai oleh suatu negara melalui pendudukan.[1] Contoh terra nullius yang ada kini adalah:
- Wilayah Bir Tawil antara Mesir dan Sudan, muncul bersama Segitiga Hala'ib setelah terjadinya perubahan perbatasan antara kedua negara. Kedua negara mengklaim kepemilikan Segitiga Hala'ib, sementara Bir Tawil tidak diklaim siapapun.
- Marie Byrd Land di Antarktika belum diklaim oleh siapapun. Pada traktat Antarktika tahun 1959, penanda tangan traktat tersebut setuju untuk tidak mengklaim Marie Byrd Land, namun negara-negara yang tidak menandatanganinya dapat membuat klaim.
- Perairan internasional
- Objek-objek di luar angkasa seperti Bulan.

Even as to terra nullius, like a volcanic island or territory abandoned by its former sovereign, a claimant by right as against all others has more to do than planting a flag or rearing a monument. Since the 19th century the most generous settled view has been that discovery accompanied by symbolic acts give no more than "an inchoate title, an option, as against other states, to consolidate the first steps by proceeding to effective occupation within a reasonable time.8 I.
