Definition
- Succession occurs when functions, rights, and obligations are transferred from one international organization (predecessor) to another (successor).
- Replacement: One organization straightforwardly replaces another.
- Absorption: One organization is absorbed into another.
- Merger: Two or more organizations combine to form a new one.
- Secession: Part of an organization effectively breaks away.
- Transfer of Functions: Specific functions are moved from one organization to another.
- Succession is typically achieved through agreement between the predecessor and successor organizations.
- The successor organization must have the constitutional competence to perform the transferred functions.
- In some cases, succession may occur implicitly, even without an express agreement.
- The specific consequences depend on the agreement between the parties involved.
- Assets: Assets of the predecessor organization are usually transferred to the successor.
- Archives: Archives of the predecessor organization are typically transferred to the successor.
- Debts: It is unclear whether debts are automatically transferred to the successor organization. The transfer of debt is something that must be negotiated and settled.
