Necessity of the Provision on National Territory

1. Binding force of such provision under international law - a State under international law has the unquestioned right to assert jurisdiction throughout the extent of its territory. The delimitation of one's territory, however, is none binding upon other states who are not precluded from claiming title to territories which they think is theirs. In any case, territorial disputes have to be settled according to the rules of international law.

2. Value of provision defining our national territory - the provision is important in order to make known to the world the areas over which we assert title or ownership to avoid future conflicts with other states.

3. Acquisition of other territories - the definition of our national territory on our Constitution does not prevent us from acquiring other territories in the future through any of the means sanctioned by international law.
