Eleven of the twelve members of the CIS signed a declaration...
Idle curiosity. Which one didn't? Russia itself, or one of the others? Ah. Georgia, right? –Hajor 00:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

The UK
If Northern Ireland were to break away from the United Kingdom, so that it changed from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the United Kingdom of Great Britain, would that create the same kind of legal dispute over the UK's seat? Nik42 22:31, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably not, because a mere name change or change in a member's territory does not terminate the entity. The difference is that the Soviet Union was formally dissolved. 24.54.208.177 16:08, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Northern Ireland is only one of 4 major divisions in the United Kingdom, so there likely wouldn't be a dispute. Even a change that would have taken the country from the USSR's size to Russia's size would likely be resolved without much dispute - as the above comment noted, it was the dissolution of the government that caused the trouble.  Without a dissolution, the only "split" that I think would cause such a dispute would be a division on the scale of the (temporary) one that was apparent during the American Civil War.  (See Border states (Civil War) for a map demonstrating the division.)  --Tim4christ17 17:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

France and UK should leave
if some should be questioned than its these both countries, or they should give up their seat for a EU one--Karesu12340 (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

In search to improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.--J. D. Redding 21:44, 4 August 2013 (UTC) [ps., ... and remove the tophat]


 * Most of the article is about succession, but there should be a broader treatment of the topic. Kaihsu (talk) 18:07, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Andrew McLeod
I'm not an expert on wiki etiquette so I haven't made any changes yet but I'm sceptical that Andrew McLeod should be used as a source. If you look at his website it's pretty clear the man is a grifter and a chancer who massively oversells his own expertise, he's only a visiting professor at kings with no specialist knowledge of constitutional or international law, and he's controversial for making up nonsense facts. 2001:4646:4DE6:0:4C09:DA34:B645:F3DE (talk) 12:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
