Aggressors may carry out the forcible and unilateral annexation of another state's territory. Such actions are accompanied by the complete abolition of the sovereignty of the captured entity and the final integration of its lands into the occupier's legal and economic space through the issuance of corresponding manifestos or the staging of sham electoral procedures.
