The UN Security Council demonstrated a precedent of requiring a special resolution of the General assembly to confirm the succession of a permanent member in the case of a state/constitution change.

We are talking about the newly created People’s Republic of China, which for more than twenty years proved that it is actually the state of China, only with a different political system and name.

Everything was resolved on October 25, 1971, when the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution No. 2758 “Restoring the legal rights of the People’s Republic of China in the UN” by more than two-thirds of the votes.

But China, unlike the vanished Soviet Union, has a long and practically continuous history, and has not ceased its existence for thousands of years. Therefore, his example, in the context of Russia’s illegal occupation of the seat of the USSR in the UN, is inappropriate.

The example of Czechoslovakia is very revealing and reflects the legal path that Russia should have been obliged to follow after the disappearance of the USSR.

Czechoslovakia was one of the original members of the United Nations on October 24, 1945.

In a letter dated December 10, 1992, its Permanent Representative informed the UN Secretary-General that the Czechoslovak Federal Republic was dissolving on December 31, 1992, and that the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic were submitting new applications for admission to the UN as independent legal successors.

After receiving such statements, the Security Council, on January 8, 1993, recommended the UN General Assembly accepts the Czech Republic as a member of the Organization.

Thus, the Czech Republic and Slovakia were accepted as members of the UN on January 19, 1993 (resolution 47/221 and resolution 47/222).
