Devletler bir uluslararası örgütle üyelik müzakerelerini yürütürken, üyelikten çekilme konusu üzerinde pek

A state rarely considers leaving an international organization when negotiating the conditions of its entry. Amongsuch organizations is the United Nations (UN), an institution of obvious global importance. The issue of withdrawal,neglected though it often is (whether deliberately or unintentionally), could however be equally as significant as thatof entry. By contrast with the Covenant of the League of Nations, the UN Charter makes no provision for withdrawal.The procedure to be followed should a state request to withdraw is therefore left uncertain. The current study thereforeexamines three primary instruments: the proposal of the Committee of the San Francisco Conference, the Indonesianexample and the inclusion of the relevant provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The study aimsto determine whether these instruments provide an explicit procedure for withdrawal from the UN. The current studycontributes to the Turkish literature by providing insight into this largely ignored topic.
