Military occupation, also known as belligerent occupation or simply occupation, is the effective military control by a ruling power over a territory that is outside of that power's sovereign territory.Eyāl Benveniśtî. The international law of occupation. Princeton University Press, 2004. , , p. 43 The territory is then known as the ''occupied'' territory and the ruling power the ''occupant''.

A territorial dispute or boundary dispute is a disagreement over the possession or control of land between two or more political entities.

International law does not support the use of force by one state to annex the territory of another state. ThUN Charterstates, "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or ...
