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.
