Abstract
The concept of private property and its evolution in the municipal private law of different States have been the subject of a considerable amount of study.3 A certain amount of similar research, although less extensive, has also been carried out within municipal public law. In public international law, on the other hand, there have only been a few brief studies on the concept of property in general (and this today is still oriented towards the possession of State territory), while studies of the concept of property as such, whether private or public, are inadequate or even completely lacking.4 This lack of research in public international law is particularly noticeable as regards the distinction between private property and public or State property. And yet this distinction in municipal law is beginning to play an ever increasing role in public international law as well.
