Annexation is defined as the forcible and illegal acquisition of territory by one State at the expense of another. The prohibition of annexation, in part or in full of a territory, is accepted as a fundamental principle of customary international law, for which no exception or derogation is permitted. In addition to the use of force and annexation being illegal and absolutely prohibited under international law, the resulting consequences also violate other peremptory international norms, like the right to self-determination.
