The Commission stresses in addition that the organisation of elections in the annexed territory by the annexing State should be an act performed exclusively for the benefit of the resident individuals, and resemble those “non-political” official acts performed in disputed territories concerning the status of resident individuals (such as registration of births, deaths, marriages, inheritance). It does not and cannot "cure" the illegality of the annexation. The annexation remains an illegal act of use of force. Performing certain acts including the organisation of elections for the benefit of the population does not remedy the illegality.
