[General] If a group of aquatic alien refugees wish to build a small settlement in international waters, whose official permission would they need?

Noone's, there are no laws regarding that because the law simply doesn't acknowledge extraterrestrial entities so the law would have to be invented first and before that the fishmen would completely legally move in the waters. And those waters being international, there probably wouldn't be anything stopping them even if they were Earthlings or if the law accounted for extraterrestrials.

So if the fish dudes got access to Earth's lawbooks, they could not only move in, but tell anyone harassing them to buzz off in the language of the law. Without the lawbooks they could just tell them straight up to buzz off.
