    Gerechtigkeit und Territorialität
    in Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie , 54. Jahrgang, Heft 4, 2006 ,  2006 ,  597-621
    A state's claim to authority over its territory cannot be convincingly defended along the lines of any of the usual accounts drawing on power, volition, or property. The territorial authority of states ought to be conceived, rather, as a means serving the ends of securing justice, participation, and human rights. According to this approach, a particular territorial regime can be criticized as unjust if – and only if – it thwarts achieving these ends. Consequently a right to redraw territorial boundaries arises strictly as a last resort under the condition that all other remedies have been tried without success.
