annexation |

|
| |
The formal act by which a state incorporates conquered foreign territory within its own jurisdiction. It is now almost universally regarded as a violation of international law. Annexation must be distinguished from the acquisition of foreign territory with the willing agreement of the foreign state concerned, and also from what used sometimes to be called peaceful annexation – that is, the acquisition by way of proclamation and settlement of territory not under the authority of any other state. |
