Original Note:
Annexation is always illegal, unless subsequently recognized by other States. The Golan Heights were very much annexed illegally by Israel and are still considered Syrian territory by the international community. This is not controversial in international law. https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DAnnexation%2C_in_international_law%2C_is%2Cto_be_an_illegal_act.?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_Israeli_settlements?wprov=sfla1
