Summary: It is necessary to reflect on certain principles stated in the UN and osa�s documents and other international instruments when studying territory as an element of the State. Territory is a defined space in which the State exerts its sovereignty in an exclusive manner, precluding third parties from intervening in its internal matters; as well as a space in which the authorities need to assure the fulfillment of law and order. When the Constitution of 1991 enumerates the spaces that are part of Colombia, it recognizes the idea of a tridimensional territory where each element is defined as taking into account the norms of international and internal law with the objective of producing an integral vision. This recognition not only concerns the physical space but also the manner in which the State projects itself in its external relations conforming to principles accepted by the international community.
