SORU:

What is suspension and expulsion in membership status for international organizations?


CEVAP:

Organizations have rules arranging ways of dealing with incompatible and noncompliant States. The ordinary way is suspension according to which certain rights of the member in question is restrained. Many organizations suspend the voting right until a further decision in order to put diplomatic and political pressure on the “naughty” member. The responsibilities and obligations of the suspended member continue though. So, despite making evident that the organization is a bit inharmonious, the suspension decision usually puts the blame/burden on the member concerned. The suspension decision is to be lifted once it normalises. In cases of essential problems or the perception that suspension would not be effective at all, organizations may also expel their members. Expulsion is in fact not that much preferred, for it somehow gives the impression that the organization is incapable of enforcing its principles even to its own members and bringing them into line. It will also be an indicator of weakness and fragility and put the organization on the spot in international politics.
