URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=62776 Shaklein, V.V. Criteria and certain aspects of accepting the new UN Members. Abstract: The article is concerned with the criteria for the accepting the states as the new UN Members, as well as some specific features of the procedure for such accepting. The author also views the activities of the UN Security Council, including the Committee on the Admission of the New Members of the UN Security Council. It is noted that the Committee often used its power to request additional information from a candidate state. It is stated that accepting the new Member States by the UN Security Council and by the UN General Assembly without the involvement of this Committee has political character, while the activities of the Committee allow to provide legal grounds for the candidate state meeting (or not meeting) the criteria under Art. 4 of the UN Charter. It is concluded that the activities of the Committee are of importance, and its participation in the procedure of accepting new Member States to the UN is not a mere formality.
