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. 000299533 580__ $$aIn: International law and peace settlements. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2021. - Pages 432-446 000299533 6531_ $$aDemocracy and Sovereignty$$0319120 000299533 6531_ $$aPeace, War and Conflict 000299533 700__ $$aKohen, Marcelo Gustavo 000299533 700__ $$aHébié, Mamadou 000299533 8564_ $$9140e45eb-eea9-478d-bd51-7e2639646b9e$$s172013$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/299533/files/peace_agreements_and_territorial_change.pdf 000299533 901__ $$uInternational Law Department$$0319287 000299533 909CO $$ooai:repository.graduateinstitute.ch:299533$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pIHEID:Explore 000299533 981__ $$aoverwrite
