 The recent surge of interest in territorial justice and territorial rights may be attributed to the fact that it has become clear that the different elements of the bundle of territorial rights are connected to a wide range of increasingly important and pressing debates, such as resource justice, migration and secession. Some of the most interesting work on migration justice takes into account the issue of rights over territory (Ochoa Espejo 2016; Song 2018). The interest in resource justice may be connected to the obvious fact that there are many different claims for common pool resources and some of these are being increasingly degraded. This makes more pressing the question of who has entitlement to control resources and what are the terms under which individuals or groups should interact with such places (Armstrong 2017; Nine 2014, 2019; Banai 2016). Armstrong (2017, 2018), has focused on resource justice and on the special case of the oceans which is a particularly significant common pool resource. Some of this interest is connected to technological innovations which make possible harvesting resources in the seabed, or potentially in space.
