CONT

Dans l'opération dite: cession de territoire le rôle de l'État cédant consiste à renoncer à la souveraineté sur le territoire considéré, (...) La doctrine moderne décompose, en effet, ordinairement l'opération de la cession en deux actes successifs: l'abandon par l'État cédant de sa compétence territoriale étant suivi de l'établissement de la sienne par l'État annexant ou cessionnaire.
