74. In the opinion of the Court, the historical evidence adduced by Greece does not suffice to establish that the expression "territorial status" was used in the League of Nations period, and in particular in the General Act of 1928, in the special, restricted, sense contended for by Greece. The evidence seems rather to confirm that the expression "territorial status" was used in its ordinary, generic sense of any matters properly to be considered as relating to the integrity and legal régime of a State's territory. It is significant in this regard that in the analysis of treaty provisions made in the Systematic Survey of Arbitral Conventions and Treaties of Mutual Security, published in 1927 by the Secretariat of the League of Nations (one of the documents used in connection with the drafting of the General Act), reservations of disputes relating to "territorial integrity", "territorial status" and "frontiers" were exarnined together as having the same or a very similar meaning. The Systematic Survey of Treaties for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes 1928-1948 prepared by the Secretariat of the United Nations and published in 1948, also groups together, under the title "Disputes relating to territorial status", provisions concerning "territorial status", "territorial questions", "territorial integrity", "present frontiers". As to the legal writers of the League of Nations period, the Greek Government itself laid stress on the fact that they consistently linked together treaty provisions excepting questions relating to "territorial status", "territorial integrity" and "existing frontiers". 75. It follows that for the same reasons the Court is unable to accept the contention advanced in the Memorial that if the authors of the General Act, or of the arbitration treaties containing a territorial status reservation: "had contemplated excluding any disputes concerning the spatial delimitation of State jurisdictions, they would not have failed clearly to mention the familiar category of frontier disputes rather than resort to the term of territorial status which was a very specific one in the practice of the time" (Memorial, para. 236). In the view of the Court, the term "territorial status" in the treaty practice of the time did not have the very specific meaning attributed to it by the Greek Government. As the nature of the word "status" itself indicates, it was a generic term which in the practice of the time was understood as embracing the integrity and frontiers, as well as the legal régime, of the territory in question. This is implicit in the very wording of reservation (b) itself which treats disputes relating to Greece's "rights of sovereignty over its ports and lines of communication" as included in its reservation of disputes relating to its "territorial status". These disputes by their nature related to the interpretation and application of existing treaties rather than to their revision. 76. Accordingly, the expression "relating to the territorial status of
