vacant seat formula |
|

|

| |
An expedient sometimes adopted by international organizations when more than one group claims to be the legitimate government of a member state. Instead of accepting the credentials of one of the groups (thus rejecting the other), the organization may simply leave that state\'s seat temporarily vacant. This was done literally – and graphically – in the rather different circumstances which resulted from the refusal of the United States Senate to allow its country to join the League of Nations, in the creation of which its president, Woodrow Wilson, had played an important part. At the League Council, a seat was left vacant for the absent permanent member, and remained vacant throughout the League\'s life: the ‘empty chair’. |
