The document discusses the concept of recognition in international law. It defines recognition as the acknowledgement by members of the international community that a new state has acquired international personality. There are two main theories of recognition: the constitutive theory, which holds that recognition is what grants statehood, and the declarative theory, which argues that statehood exists prior to recognition. The document also discusses recognition of governments, belligerency, and insurgency, as well as the differences between de facto and de jure recognition of states.

Recognition: The term recognition as an international legal term may be defined as under: “The acknowledgement or acceptance by the members of international community, that a new state has acquired international personality, is said to be recognition.” Essentials: - The main essentials of recognition may be given as under: 1. That the community ( of new state ) must be politically organized, 2. That it should have control over a definite territory, 3. That the control should tend towards permanency, 4. That such community must be independent Theories of Recognition: - There are mainly two theories of recognition which may discussed as under: 1. Constitutive Theory. 2. Declarative Theory or Evidentiary Theory 1. Constitutive Theory: -Oppenheim, Hegal and Anziloti are the chief exponents of this theory. According to this theory the only certificate to issue international personality to a new born state is the consent of the already existing states. In other words a new entity shall only be called a state when the existing states acknowledges about its statehood. So, the independence of a new entity shall not amount it to be called a state unless it has not recognized by the existing states. 2. Declaratory Theory: - The chief exponents of this theory are Hall, Wagner, Fisher and Brierly. According to this theory, the statehood or the authority of new Government is not dependent on the consent of the existing state but is based on some prior or existing fact. According the followers of
this theory, the recognition by the existing states is merely a formal acknowledgement of the statehood and not the condition. In fact the statehood is dependent on the some prior conditions necessary for an entity to be called as a state. * Recognition of Government: - As we know that government is an essential of statehood. By government it is meant the administrative and controlling tool of a state. Once a state comes into being, its government may change from time to time. If the change of government takes place in ordinary political life it the existing states are not required to recognize the new government. But sometimes the change of a government takes place as a result of a revolution. In such a case, it becomes necessary to ascertain that whether this new revolutionary government is; i. capable of having sufficient control over the people of the territory or not, and ii. willing to maintain international responsibilities and duties or not. * Recognition of Belligerency: - Belligerency is the treatment to consider a civil war as a real war between two rival powers by other existing states. The recognition by the existing states of the rebels in case of civil war in a belligerent state is said to be recognition of belligerency. In other words when a state goes in a state of belligerency where the rebels have a considerable control over a substantial territory of nation, the rebels may be recognized by the existing state. Such recognition is said to be recognition of belligerency. Conditions: - There are following conditions by the movement of rebels to recognized by other states: a. That the movement shall be of a general character. b. That rebels shall have in possession a substantial part of the national territory. c.That they are giving respect and bind themselves for the warfare laws and other international duties.
d. That they have a proper force. Recognition of Insurgency: - The recognition by existing states the de facto authority over a large territory of the rebels is said to be insurgency. In case of insurgency the rebels or the insurgents occupy a large part of the national territory which was formerly governed by the parent government. And if they are capable to control over that occupied part then the existing states may recognize it. Conditions: Prior to recognize the insurgency it is necessary for the recognizing state to satisfy the following conditions; Firstly, when insurgents occupies a considerable parent state’s territory, Secondly, they have a support from the majority of the citizens of the parent state, Thirdly, they are acting under a proper command and, Fourthly, they have good control over the occupied territory. Effects of Recognition: recognition besides conferring also imposes duties on the insurgent, viz the establishment of prize courts and issue of list of contrabands.insurgent can therefore be recognised belligerents only if they are capable of fulfilling theor obligation to other states. Modes of Recognition: There are two modes of recognition, which may be given; 1. De facto Recognition. 2. De jure Recognition. 1. De facto Recognition: - The provisionally grant; that is subject to fulfillment of all the attributes of statehood, of recognition to a new state which has acquired sufficient territory and control over the same, but the recognizing states considers it not stable more, is said to be De facto
Recognition. 2. De jure Recognition: - The grant of recognition to a new born state by an existing state, when it considers that such new born state has attained all the attributes of statehood with stability and permanency, is called De jure Recognition. Differences Between De facto and De jure Recognition. De facto and De jure recognition may differentiate on the basis of following points of distinction. De facto Recognition. 1.It is provisional recognition subject to fulfillment all attributes of statehood. 2. It creates few essential rights and duties for recognized and recognizing states. 3.It does not create full diplomatic intercourse between the parties. 4. The full diplomatic immunities are not granted in this case. 5. In this case the recognized state cannot claim for the property situate in the recognizing state’s territory 6. In such a case the official visits and dealings may be subjected to limitations. De jure Recognition. 1. it is absolute recognition granted to a state which have attained all the attributes of statehood, possesses sufficient control with permanency. 2. It creates absolute rights for the parties thereto. 3. It creates full diplomatic intercourse between the parties. 4. Here full diplomatic relations are granted to the recognized state. 5. In this case, the claim can be made.
6. In such a case limitations are not necessary.
