Abstract
The author addresses issues concerning the validity of international agreements in the territories of newly created states in connection with the dismantling of colonialism. The impact of independence on agreements created before and during the establishment of the protectorate is described. Legal situation in countries that were under the protectorate of France i.e. (Morocco, Tunisia, Indochina) and the UK (Malay Federation and Uganda) is described. Moreover, the author presents his considerations on the legal nature of agreements (or clauses) on the transfer of treaty rights and obligations which are relevant to the doctrine of international law.
