UN membership of the "new" Yugoslavia: continuity or break?
Article Abstract:
The secession of Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Slovenia from Yugoslavia , a UN member, confronted the body anew with a problem it had faced in the India-Pakistan situation. The UN's Charter obligates the body to repeat the India-Pakistan policy, that is, to allow the remains of Yugoslavia, including Serbia, to retain their UN seat while admitting the republics which seceded to separate seats. The latter step was taken in May 1992. The requirement of the Charter's Article 4(1) that UN member's be 'peace-loving states' is an insufficient excuse for excluding Serbia-Yugoslavia.

Correspondents' agora: UN membership of the former Yugoslavia
Article Abstract:
Yehuda Blum's contention that Yugoslavia has become the de facto UN representative following the breakup of the Republic because the UN has not objected to its participation in organizational proceedings is criticized. The international law requirements for statehood and the role of customary international law, especially as concerns Russia's succession to the USSR's UN membership, are discussed to counter Blum's arguments and to suggest that neither Yugoslavia nor any of its territories are official UN members.

Legal aspects of the use of a provisional name for Macedonia in the United Nations system
Article Abstract:
The UN granted membership to Macedonia in April 1993 but subject to the condition that it be provisionally referred to as "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". This was because Greece disputed Macedonia's use of that name. The condition would remain in effect until Greece and Macedonia settled their dispute. A review of Article 4 of the UN Charter showed that Macedonia fulfilled all requirements for membership and that further conditions violated the Charter.
