Broadly speaking, state succession takes place when one State steps into the place of another and continues to enjoy the latter's rights and discharge its obligations. Succession has been described as substitution plus continuation. Succession is said to be universal when one State is completely absorbed by another, ... or when a State is dismembered and the various fragments themselves become States or are annexed by surrounding States.  1, record 1, English, - state%20succession
