Asked by destinymalavas

Answer (2)

Terra Nullius is a legal concept meaning 'land belonging to no one,' used by colonisers to justify claims over territories deemed uninhabited or underutilised. This principle has significant historical implications, particularly in Australia regarding Indigenous rights and land recognition. The idea has been increasingly challenged as societies work toward reconciliation with Indigenous communities. ;
