TY - CHAP A1 - Geiß, Robin A1 - Li, Yao A2 - Zimmermann, Andreas A2 - Terje, Einarsen T1 - Article 44 1951 Convention/Article IX 1967 Protocol T2 - The 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees and its 1967 Protocol N2 - This chapter examines the extent of the 1951 Convention's Article 44 and the 1967 Protocol's Article IX. It starts with identifying the standard denunciation clause in Article 44 and Article IX. Multilateral treaties of unlimited duration allow States parties an unconditional right to withdraw. A denunciation releases the denouncing party from any obligation further to perform the treaty in relation to the other parties of the 1967 Protocol. The chapter clarifies that denunciation or withdrawal expresses the same legal concept since it is a procedure initiated unilaterally by a State that wants to terminate its legal engagements under a treaty.
