Occurs when one
State is replaced by
another in the
responsibility for the
international relations
of territory. Generally,
a newly independent
State which makes a
notification of
succession is considered
a party to a treaty from
the date of the
succession of States or
from the date of entry
into force of the
treaty, whichever is the
later date. Our tables
refer to the date of
notification of
succession. See also the
Vienna
Convention on the Law
of Treaties
and the Vienna
Convention on
Succession of States
in respect of Treaties. |
