OH, I don't think so!
(TEACH ME • SHOW ME)Stated in many different ways, international law has one basic. The land belongs to the people and the people belong to the land. They cannot be separated. The people are the sovereigns within their defined territory.
I would like to see your reference.
Where doe it say this in the law?
Show me a legal and enforceable citation under international law that says this.
(JUST MY THOUGHT and OBSERVATION)
Not all countries are the same, and so, I believe you are citing a theoretical legal concept for one form of government.
BUT, In a Kingdom or Emerat, like you find in the MENA the Government is the sovereign entity. In most countries and in International Law, there is a difference between "sovereignty" over territory and "ownership" over territory.
Similarly, under international law, the status of sovereignty over territory and the sovereignty of a person is different.
Similarly, nationality and citizenship are criteria that are not universal from nation to nation. And the nation is the determining factor - not the people. If you a born in one nation, you are not automatically a citizen of other nations (except by stipulation of domestic law). International Law does not control national domestic law. While some states have bound themselves by treaty, convention or other instruments, there are extraction and egress clauses.
A DICTIONARY OF MODERN LEGAL USAGE • SECOND EDITION • Bryan A. said:sovereignty: It has three primary senses:
(1) “supreme dominion, authority, or rule”;
(2) “the position, rank, or control of a supreme ruler, such as a monarch, or controlling power, such as a democratically formed government”; or
(3) “territory under the rule of a sovereign, or existing as an independent state.”

Acquiring territory by force is illegal.
Where is your confusion?
You should have advised the combined Arab-Islamist armies of that.
Are you confused?
