佔領波羅的海國家

占领波罗的海国家指的是1940年6月14日^[1][2]，苏联根据苏德互不侵犯条约軍事佔領波罗的海三国（爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛）这一事件，随后三国即被吞并并成为了苏联加盟共和国^[3]。1941年6月22日，纳粹德国展開巴巴罗萨行动攻击苏联，在数周内占领波罗的海国家。1941年7月，第三帝国成立東方總督轄區管理波罗的海地区。1944年波羅的海攻勢行动后，苏军重新占领波罗的海地区，并将剩余德军围困于库尔兰口袋中，直至其1945年5月正式投降^[4]。苏联对波罗的海国家的占领则一直维持至1991年8月波罗的海国家重获独立为止。苏联国务委员会在1991年9月6日正式承认三国独立，并支持三国加入联合国和欧盟。俄罗斯在1998年8月将其位于波罗的海国家的最后一个军事基地移交拉脱维亚，并在1999年10月撤出所有驻扎在波罗的海国家的俄军。

波羅的海三國^[5][6]、美國^[7][8]及其法院^[9]、歐洲議會^[10][11][12]歐洲人權法院^[13]以及联合国人权理事会^[14]均表明三國的權益在1939年蘇德互不侵犯條約受剝奪，先遭蘇聯入侵，再遭德國入侵，然後被蘇聯非法佔領及吞併^{[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]}。各國和組織對蘇聯吞併的不承認政策，衍生出國體連續的原則，即三國雖然於1940年至1991年被非法佔領，在法理上仍然獨立^[24][25][26]。

The forcible incorporation of the Baltic states into the Soviet Union in 1940, on the basis of secret protocols to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, is considered to be null and void. Even though the Soviet Union occupied these countries for a period of fifty years, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania continued to exist as subjects of international law.
