In this study, we generally handle the recognition of States in respect of the international law with its historical background, referring to the different views on the issue. Although the subject of recognition can be explained under some several topics, it is generally accepted that the recognition in itself means only the recognition of the states rather than the recognition of belligerency or recognition of governments. Because the recognition of the states brings some burdens on the recognizing states, the recognizing states always act politically rather than acting in any other way. Because there have always been the interests of the existing states. Therefore the problem is far from being solved by only the principals of the international law. So we also choose to handle the very controversial issues of the recognition such as: the, constitutive and explanatory theories pertaining to the recognition, de jure and de facto recognition, when the recognition constitutes interference to another state’s internal affairs and many other debates here. Because, there are still so many units (not yet recognized states) waiting for being recognized which we handle in this article.
