The right of conquest:  the acquisition of territory by force in international law and practice 

 - Oxford:  Clarendon Press,  1996 
 - 342p. 
<br/><br/> Until the early 20th century the right of a victorious state to claim sovereignty over conquered territory was a recognised principle of international law. The first world war lead to the rejection of this principle and its replacement with the principle of self determination. Case studies of several instances of seizure of territory since 1945 are used to evaluate the content and effectiveness of modern law.
