Summary/Abstract: Following the referendum held in the United Kingdom (UK) on 23 June 2016 and once Article 50 TEU had been activated, negotiations on the withdrawal of this European State from the European Union began on 19 June 2017. After many months of negotiation, on 15 November 2018, the draft text of the future withdrawal agreement of the UK from the EU was known and was officially formalised at the extraordinary EU summit held on 25 November 2018. The same day, the EU adopted its draft political declaration on the future relations between the EU and the UK. As of 1 February 2020, the UK is no longer an EU Member State. This has raised numerous challenges, also from the point of view of succession to membership in international organizations other than the EU, as well as succession to international treaties. These issues will be the main focus of this article.
