ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to discuss the consequences of threats of force, namely, the legal repercussions that follow the threats of force issued by one State against another. The most rudimentary question is what the consequences of threats of force are, both in cases where they were not followed by the use of force and in cases where the use of force did indeed occur. Secondly, the chapter will discuss two consequences of the principle ex injuria jus non oritur with regard to illegal threats of force – the prohibition of illegal territorial acquisitions and the invalidity of treaties concluded as a result of illegal threats of force.
