	Diplomatic recognition -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Diplomatic recognition is the act in which a state's government is formally recognized by another state as being "legitimate."
		In the vast majority of cases, it is not necessary to invoke such recognition.
		It is assumed that if enough countries withhold recognition of a "rebel" or illegal government, that government will have no choice to step down, or fear international isolation.

	DIPLOMATIC RECOGNITION FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Diplomatic recognition, in international_politics, is an act or statement on the part of a state acknowledging some degree of legitimacy of another state or government, and, typically, expressing its intent to bring into force the legal consequences of recognition.
		Recognition is not necessary when a government changes in a normal, constitutional way, but is in the case of a coup_d'etat or revolution, and can become particularly important for the permanence of the new government then.
		If implicit recognition is possible, a state may feel the need to explicitly proclaim that its acts do not constitute diplomatic recognition, as when the United States commenced its dialogue with the Palestinian_Liberation_Organization in 1988.

		Recognition of independence occurs when a new state is created, usually by a successful rebellion, and is accepted by members of the international community, either by a formal statement or by entering into diplomatic relations with the new state.
		Recognition of independence generally takes place after the new nation has demonstrated its ability to maintain itself; if a power recognizes an insurrectionary colony or dependency while the mother country is attempting to crush the rebellion, it is considered an offense to the dominant country that is being ousted.
		The withholding of diplomatic recognition may be used in an attempt to force changes of policy on a new government, as illustrated by the nonrecognition of the Huerta (1913) and Obregón (1920) governments in Mexico and of the Communist government in China (1949) by the United States.

		This is because from a strictly practical point of view, it does not make sense to ignore the de facto ruler of a country, especially when diplomatic relations with that country are important to maintain.
		Some examples of governments which have not been regarded as legitimate or granted diplomatic recognition include the Taliban government of Afghanistan, which lasted 1996-2001 and was recognized by only three countries.
		Until the installation of a new US-backed government, the vast majority of countries and the UN continued to recognize the government of ousted President Burhanuddin Rabbani as being the legitimate government.

		Moreover, recognition clearly would indicate to others in East Asia that the United States is firmly committed to resisting PRC military or political adventurism generally, thus strengthening the U.S. hand in the region.
		Dual recognition of the two Germanies was irrelevant to this much larger and more important political reality, and the same will be true for cross-strait relations.

	The Admission of New States to the International Community
		Recognition of a new state is an act that confers a status; as a result of recognition, the recognized entity acquires the legal status of a state under international law.
		Recognition did not function merely as a refutable assumption that the criteria of statehood were met; it actually served as a substitute for these features, which were obviously missing.
		As diplomatic relations were continued, albeit on a lower level, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was granted the active and passive right of legation and was also certified as having the competence to conclude treaties, at the latest by the Dayton Agreements.

		To acknowledge diplomatically that two "states" face each other across the Taiwan Straits is not to grant either one of them ethical approval or to imply that they should remain forever separate.
		Indeed, the only objection to full diplomatic recognition of Taiwan is that Beijing would erupt in rhetorical outrage, perhaps including threats of military force, and would attempt economic reprisals against the United States such as the cancellation of commercial contracts.
		But diplomatic recognition of Taiwan would be just the kind of demonstration of U.S. leadership that the region needs and that many of its people hope for.

		At the same time, British diplomats have concluded that Milosevic had no intention of honouring any diplomatic agreement which reduced his hold on Kosovo - despite his vaunted willingness to enter the negotiations at Rambouillet and the peace talks in Paris which preceded the bombing campaign.
		The experts nevertheless judge that, diplomatically and politically, the operation was a success because the 19-member alliance remained united throughout and left Belgrade so isolated that it was forced to submit to NATO's terms.
		Diplomats now say that with NATO's credibility at stake, a ground war was inevitable if Milosevic had not caved in.

		The Clinton Administration has been pushing to extend full diplomatic recognition to the Communist regime, but the many wounds still being felt by Americans who fought in Vietnam (or who lost their loved ones there) stand in the way.
		The fundamental reason for denying recognition -- which few want to discuss publicly -- is that Vietnam remains a repressive Communist dictatorship and deserves no recognition from a nation dedicated to liberty.
		Stepping forward on behalf of recognition of the Hanoi government are Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and John Kerry (D-MA), both decorated veterans of the Vietnam War.

		At long last, Israel's request for diplomatic recognition from Pakistan, made fifty-three years ago in 1948, may finally receive a reply.
		Recognition of Israel would signal a strong move in the opposite direction and may lead to the Musharraf regime acting against those sections of Pakistani society and government that sponsor Islamic terrorism.
		And with diplomatic recognition, there is always the possibility that other Muslim countries would follow Pakistan's lead, further eroding Israel's isolation.

		As scholars seek to explain the characteristics of post-cold war, post-twentieth century relations with Latin America, it is useful to analyze the development of recognition policy, which for many years was central to expressing approval or disapproval of governments.
		The purpose of this article is to examine U.S. recognition policy toward Latin American governments, to identify patterns in that policy, and to explain its decline.
		Recognition has implied a wide range of consequences, including access to the courts of each country, protection of nationals, uninterrupted trade, and acceptance of coparticipation in treaties (Peterson 1997).

	Cross-strait Scramble -- China-Africa Cooperation
		In the 1998 communiqué for resuming diplomatic relations with the Central African Republic, the PRC emphasized that "Taiwan is a province of the PRC," and "the effectiveness of UN resolution 2758." By studying the change of Beijing's wording, one can see that Beijing is increasing its pressure on Taipei in Africa.
		In 1996, when South African President Nelson Mandela was considering terminating diplomatic ties with Taipei, which had invested $1.6 billion in and provided 41,000 employment opportunities to the deteriorating post-apartheid economy, one of the most important motivations was to enhance Pretoria's influence in the African continent by seeking Beijing's cooperation in the U.N..
		A critical reason that Taipei desires to gain diplomatic recognitions in Africa is to win support to survive in the global community.

		Therefore diplomatic recognition, though it is important for the normal functioning of a state, cannot be considered as sufficient or even as the main principle determining the legitimacy of a state.
		I think that it is the first factor, namely, the recognition, support and, if necessary, protection by the people of their own state which is the basic determinant of its legitimacy.
		Thus, from the point of view of the situation in Abkhazia, its multi-ethnic people is the source of the sovereignty of the Republic of Abkhazia, and the latter is the form of their self-determination, confirmed by the referendum of 1999 and reaffirmed by the Act of the State Independence of Abkhazia.

		In retrospect, nice respectable diplomatic centers such as the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or the Department of State may sometimes reflect that there isn't much point in extending diplomatic recognition to regimes which by their own revolutionary criteria have no interest in respecting diplomatic niceties.

		Diplomatic recognition and the granting of legal status for the Vatican has been widely debated in many countries, but not in the US.

	Vote brings wave of recognition (12/08/91)
		Although Canadian recognition was widely expected, as Canada harbors a large Ukrainian community and even the Canadian governor general Ray Hnatyshyn is an ethnic Ukrainian, the U.S. reaction signalled a complete reversal of the Bush administration's policy towards the seceding Soviet republics.
		Additional pressure on the White House was applied by the U.S. Senate, which passed a resolution calling for swift U.S. recognition of Ukraine, and by strongly Republican Ukrainian American lobby groups whose support of the Bush administration has become increasingly important as the president's popularity is falling victim to economic recession.
		The European Community is not likely to grant recognition until its summit in the Dutch city of Maastrict later this month, but a German envoy will visit Kiev next week on behalf of the EC to start preliminary negotiations, the German Foreign Ministry said.
