Spanish term or phrase: derechos históricos adquiridos
"Fuente de Santo Domingo
Uso público por derechos históricos adquiridos

El balneario está situado a 2,5 km del núcleo Municipal. Su inauguración data del año 1955 aunque sus aguas ya se aprovechaban con anterioridad, de hecho durante la posguerra ya se acercaba mucha gente a beber las aguas de la “Fuente de Sto. Domingo” que por aquel
entonces brotaba con un escaso caudal entre las piedras. Sus aguas también fueron declaradas de utilidad pública. La Fuente (con una figura de un pez encima de la misma) está situada en un pequeño edificio de planta rectangular, con un tejado a cuatro aguas  rodeado de árboles de diversas especies"

¿Se puede traducir literalmente (historically acquired rights) o hay otro término más específico?

¡Gracias!

English translation:historically acquired rights
Explanation:
Draft article 18 (“Protection in times of armed conflict”) should include a reference to the applicable rules and principles relating to armed conflict,
non-international conflicts and territories under occupation, and should state that transboundary aquifers should not be used in violation of those
principles and rules. In view of the principle of ***historically acquired rights***, the law of shared aquifers should not apply to projects already under way.

ancient (vested) rights


Explanation:
I'm unsure that the qualifier of vested is even needed in the self-contained term of ancient rights - with which 'ancient rites', though closely linked, ought not to be confused.

Example sentence(s):
  • This vested-rights doctrine maintained that, once a right was created in one locale, its existence should be recognized everywhere.

grandfather rights


Explanation:
The concept of grandfather rights factor in history or long time. So it would be pleonastic to say 'historical/ancient, grandfather rights'.

A grandfather clause (or grandfather policy or grandfathering) is a provision in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situations while a new rule will apply to all future cases. Those exempt from the new rule are said to have grandfather rights or acquired rights, or to have been grandfathered in.
