Protocol on Contingent Rights

The Protocol on Contingent Rights is an agreement that clarifies how to handle rights or claims that might arise unexpectedly during international negotiations or treaties. It ensures that parties determine, in advance, how to share or manage these uncertain rights if they become confirmed later. Essentially, it provides a framework to address potential future rights so everyone is prepared, promoting transparency and cooperation, and reducing misunderstandings or conflicts if new rights emerge after the initial agreement is made.
