The derivative modes are: Occupation, Prescription, Accretion, Cession, and Conquest & Annexation. Under the derivative modes, one state can acquire while other can lose territory and exercise its sovereignty over it. Thus, sovereignty can't be retained forever.
Hope it clears your concept. Fellows can shed light further.
P.S. criticism welcomed.  |
What is res nullius? A territory that is not sovereign and does not possess characteristics of statehood as mentioned in Montevideo convention. Before 1800, many island and territory was not sovereign and not even populated so any country or state that reached first time on that Res nullius , according to international law - especially according to customary International law- was become the part of country who first captured it. Hence, it is first and primitive mode of acquiring of state.
