This document discusses theories of territorial rights and secession. It examines the connection between political societies and territories, and argues that sovereignty does not necessarily entail full control over territory. It explores when a seceding group can legitimately exert territorial control and discusses functionalist and attachment arguments for territorial jurisdiction. The document also notes that overlapping territorial claims may require systems of adjudication and cooperation between groups. It concludes that a successful approach to territorial rights and secession treats powers and immunities as divisible and can identify right holders while proposing limits on secession.
