Corpus separatum

Latin term for a non-independent city or region that has a special legal or political status

Corpus separatum is a Latin term referring to a city or region which is given a special legal and political status different from its environment, but which falls short of being sovereign, or an independent city state. The term may refer to:

  • Corpus separatum (Jerusalem), the 1947 UN proposal for Jerusalem
  • Corpus separatum (Fiume), the historical status of Fiume (today's Rijeka, Croatia) between 1776 and 1918
  • Pordenone, a corpus separatum between 1378 and 1514
  • Novi Pazar, a corpus separatum between 1878 and 1912

Similar but different concepts include:

  • Enclave and exclave
  • Condominium (international law)
  • International city

During the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina was sometimes described as corpus separatum as well as condominium.[1][2]
