International Precedents On Secession By Agreement

EDM number 948 in 2015-16, proposed by Paul Monaghan on 12/01/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Europe, International law and International politics and government.

That this House recognises the findings of the Arbitration Commission on Yugoslavia that declared successor states together settle all aspects of secession by agreements; recognises that when agreement cannot be reached the presumption is that debt remains with the predecessor state; and further notes that the UK is not a signatory to the Vienna Convention on the Secession of States.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
