Abstract
This chapter considers the relation between admission to the United Nations and statehood. It discusses the effects that universal membership may have, both on legal relations and on the politics of international relations. The most obvious consequence of admission to the United Nations is that the State, upon admission, becomes a member of the United Nations. The requirement of Charter Article 4(1) that a State, to be admitted, accept the obligations contained in the present Charter means that the State accept all the obligations. The significant involvement of the UN in maintenance of the international security architecture, including even administration of territory, is a project in which a State may participate more readily after admission. The challenge for international organization generally will be to balance the need for the UN as a body with universal membership with the need for regional and specialized organizations designed to carry out other tasks.Keywords: Charter Article 4 (1); International Organization; UN admission; UN member State; United Nations
