If a government has a coup/collapses, do the new coup leaders automatically represent the government in the UN?

Answer 1

The new leaders are typically the military leaders when a coup takes place, so while I’m not sure I’m guessing it’s not unheard of for those military leaders to represent the nation in the UN at some point. But I can’t think of any examples offhand.

I do know that the UN can just as easily reject a coup and call for the reinstatement of whoever was deposed, in which case I can’t imagine any of the coup leaders representing the country in the UN. And I CAN name examples of this…in west central Africa there’s been several military coups in recent years…a SUSPICIOUS AMOUNT in such a concentrated part of the world, in fact…but that’s another explanation for a different five year old.

Excellent fucking question, btw.
