| Succession |
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. |
