Hi, can be such areas like French Antarctic Territory (http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3810329) considered oficial territory or a claim, a proposition? ("In general, territorial claims below the 60° S parallel have only been recognised among those countries making claims in the area. However, claims are often indicated on maps of Antarctica - this does not signify de jure recognition." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_claims_in_Antarctica#Antarctic_Treaty]. I actually don't know much if there is some offcial statement, just to ask for. Can these claimed administrative sub-divisions be stablished as OSM administrative sub-divisions, or would it be fine to add something like "proposed"?

All these are official statements from France. There are possibly other claims from other countries, but this French de jure situation is also the one de facto.
They are effective subdivisions of France (including by French law, by French constitution, by INSEE, by national geographic institutes, by the French ministry of Oversas).
It is definitely not a "proposal", all these have been effective since more than half a century (even before the Antarctic Treaty, or before the independance of Madagascar or other African/Indian Ocean countries). Some countries still contest the status of Mayotte and Reunion as well, but they are effective both de jure and de facto... -

If you want to complement the claims for other countries, you can do that, provided you don't remove them from French borders. However these competing claims are not effective (and OSM for now looks at the current situation and not possible future situations which may never occur in a predictable time).
