      abstract = {This chapter examines the relationship between peace  treaties and territorial change. Distinguishing peace  treaties from other related agreements, it analyses the  critical role that peace treaties play in the acquisition  of territorial sovereignty following the use of force, both  under contemporary and classical international law. In this  regard, it maintains that, besides cases of debellatio,  conquest alone was never a valid title to territorial  sovereignty. Based on the difference of the applicable  legal regimes, it distinguishes peace treaties concluded  between independent states from those concluded as part of  the process of accession of a people to independence, as  well as from those concluded with successful secessionist  entities. In addition, particular attention is paid to the  great variety of territorial clauses contained in peace  treaties.},
