Voelkerrechtstechnik, fuer die, die das noch interessiert, eben Diplomatie,
der Generalsekretaer handelt wohl nur auf Anweisung:
Resolution 47/1 states that the Fed. Republic of Yugoslavia could not
participate in the work of the General Assembly, It should apply for
membership, but technically, Yugoslavia was still a member of the
Organization. The consequences, for purposes of membership of the
United Nations, of the disintegration of a Member State on which there
was no agreement among the immediate successors of that State or among
the membership of the Organization at large, was a situation that had
not been foreseen in the Charter. Therefore, the only practical
consequence was that the Fed. Rep. of Yugoslavia could not participate
in the towrk of the General Assembly, its subsidiary organs, nor
conferences convened by the Assembly. However, the resolution had not
terminated or suspended Yugoslavia's membership. The seat and
nameplate remained, but the Yugoslav Missions at United Nations
offices and at Headquarters could continue to function and could
receive and circulate documents. The UN also continued to fly the
flag of the former Yugoslavia because it was the last flag of that
State used by the Secretariat.
