The need for a defined territory focuses
upon the requirement for a particular
territorial base upon which to operate.
However, there is no necessity in
international law for defined and settled
boundaries

 Conclusion
A state may be recognized as a legal person even though it is
involved in a dispute with its neighbors as to the precise
demarcation of its frontiers, so long as there is a consistent band of
territory which is undeniably controlled by the government of the
alleged state. What matters is the presence of a stable community
within a certain area, even though its frontiers may be uncertain.
Since the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) does not control
any part of the territory it claims, it also lacks of the sovereign title
over a defined territory. Thus, it has not met the second requirement
of de facto statehood. Considering this, Palestine is not considered a
valid state.
Therefore, the declaration of the 'State of Palestine' in November
1988 at a conference in Algiers cannot be considered valid state.
