International law considers the occupation of territory to be a temporary situation, not a permanent transfer of sovereignty. The occupying power is bound by international humanitarian law, such as the Geneva Conventions, which obligates them to ensure the well-being of the population and prohibits permanent changes to the territory, including annexation. International law also forbids annexation acquired through force, making such acts illegal.
