Hi Andrea! As Nicolas pointed out, the map view of WDQS is based on OpenStreetMap. So the territory would have to be marked as disputed there.
However, perhaps you can turn this into a positive example for Wikidata's flexibility and NPOV afterall: I have added some statements to <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5671580> to show how a territorial dispute can be modeled on Wikidata. I was lazy and didn't add any sources, though - I didn't know what to make of "Donovan 2003" given in Wikipedia, as it doesn't give the title of a publication. But I suppose sources for these things should be easy to find.
