Definition of res nullius in English English dictionary

Something that has no owner, and not subject to jurisdiction of any state, susceptible to national appropriation

Res nullius is a Latin term derived from Roman law whereby res (objects in the legal sense, anything that can be owned, even slaves, but not subjects in law such as citizens) are not yet the object of rights of any specific subject. Such items are considered ownerless property and are usually free to be owned
