Note 264, p. 326, note 2 — Chapter VII · END OF WAR, AND POSTLIMINIUM

[499] It should be mentioned that a premature annexation can become valid through the occupation in question becoming soon afterwards effective. Thus, although the annexation of the South African Republic, on September 1, 1900, was premature, it became valid through the occupation becoming effective in 1901. See above, § 167, p. 209, note 1.
