How to Recognise a State (and not) Some Practical Considerations

Recognition is a concept that is closely related to sovereignty, so one cannot ignore its impact on the international arena. In practice, the state becomes a political and international entity when it is recognized by other states, and this recognition will be effective in safeguarding the rights, tasks, and duties of the state in the global and international arena. While recognizing a state may actually impose restrictions on the state, it makes states not to evade fulfilling their obligations, and therefore its role and impact cannot be ignored. One of the important effects of recognition for states can be the possibility of their membership in the United Nations and the enjoyment of that membership's rights for that state. However, the creation of a series of tasks and duties for the said state at the same time as membership in the United Nations cannot be avoided. It is clear that recognition is a turning point in the formation of the legal personality of a state and its activity in the international arena in the form of international organization. Therefore, in the light of the foregoing, in this article we seek to examine the effects of recognizing states and how the states are recognized internationally.
