Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "International Law does state that no nation has a right to expand its borders through conquest ..."

I know that the international community generally frowns on this, but is there an actual law somewhere which says you can't do this?

When the United States forced Mexico to sell all that land would that be a case of something other than conquest? And Alsace and Lorraine?

I'm curious about this. I don't think that international law had anything to say about conquests by force in the distant past, I'm wondering when the law came into being. And being a law, who enforces it.
