I think a good compromise would be to use "alleged" ceded lands since this case has never been resolved albeit it is alluded to in the Apology Bill 130-150. Without determination and confirmation in the courts, we then can honestly say that ceded is alleged. It's like when a suspect is charged of a crime not proven or determine in court, that crime is alleged. based on innocent until proven guilty. Of course, since this is an international issue it should go to ICJ where both parties can answer the charges legally. To do it in the alleged-criminal's courts and system is a conflict of interest and unjust. An impartial court should be the entity to handle this systemic issue.
