Peaceful means “untroubled by conflict, agitation, or commotion: quiet, tranquil,” or “devoid of violence or force.” (Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dict. (11th ed. 2003)

Peaceful part of this concept means that the concerned territory was not already occupied by another state and also that, from the start, its sovereignty was not contested by competing acts of sovereignty.9 The “continuous” part means that state authority needs to have been exercised or displayed in a continuous manner in the territory. But when it comes to specific criteria, such as how long the continuity needs to have lasted or to what extent interruptions in the occupation can be accepted, these are relative matters that vary according to the circumstances of each case. The answer will depend, for instance, on whether or not people were living in the territory or rival countries
