Under the UN Charter, UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 and the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties - a political arrangement concluded under duress and without the consent of the people is not a union. It is an annexation or a colonial imposition angrypict.substack.com/p/suspended-...

Suspended, Not Extinguished
An annexation that was never lawfully made, and never lawfully ended, is not history. It is a wrong still being committed.
