metadata.value: This article is dedicated to constitutional-legal status of unincorporated organized and
  unorganized territories of the United States. In the light of the provisions constitutional-legal
  status of the unorganized territory of Samoa illustrates the absence of clear demarcation lines
  between the institutional forms of organized and unorganized territories. Also drawn attention
  to the fact that unincorporated territories are in a unique legal position — they belong to the
  United States, but they are not part of this state. Indicates the methods used to integrate the
  unincorporated territories into the United States. It is indicated that the generalizing features
  of the constitutional-legal status of the unincorporated territories of the United States are the
  fragmentary application to them of the provisions of the national Constitution and the limited
  scope and resources for participation in shaping and implementing decisions made at the
  national level. Attention is focused on a discriminatory approach on the part of the United States
  with respect to the political rights of citizens living in unincorporated territories. The point is
  that the population of these territories is not entitled to participate in the election of Congress
  and the President of the United States and only some territories (USA Virgin Islands, American
  Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico) delegate their representatives to the
  House of Representatives. In the conclusion is formulated that such an approach does not
  comply with international legal standards of human rights, including those signed by the United
  States Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966. It is emphasized that the scope of competence of some unincorporated
  territories may be broader than that of the states. Also within the framework of this article,
  the constitutional legal parameters of legislative, executive and judicial authorities of the
  unincorporated territories of the United States are considered. Attention is focused on the role
  and importance of federal authorities in determining and modifying the constitutional-legal
  status of unincorporated territories. It was concluded that diversified models of unincorporated
  organized and unorganized territories are peculiar indicators of the complex asymmetric
  structure of the USA.
