Diplomatic recognition is a political act by which one state acknowledges an act or status of another state or government, thereby according it legitimacy and expressing its intent to bring into force the domestic and international legal consequences of recognition. Recognition can be accorded either de facto or de jure, usually by a statement of the recognising government. International relations (IR) is an academic and public policy field, a branch of political science, dealing with the foreign policy of states within the international system, including the roles of international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs). ...

Recognition of states and governments Recognition of a government implies recognition of the state it governs, but not vice versa. Recognition of states de facto, rather than de jure is rare, and questions center around recognition of governments. De jure recognition is of course stronger, while de facto recognition is more tentative and more connected with effective control of the recognised state over its territory, as when the United Kingdom recognised the Soviet Union de facto in 1921, but de jure only in 1924. Another example is the state of Israel in 1948, whose government was immediately recognised de facto by the United States (and later Britain), and "one-upped" 3 days later by Soviet de jure recognition.

Renewing recognition of a government is not necessary when it changes in a normal, constitutional way, but is in the case of a coup d'etat or revolution. Recognition of the new government by other states can be important for its long term survival. For instance, the Taliban government of Afghanistan, which lasted only from 1996 to 2001, was recognised by only three countries, while far more had recognised the government of ousted President Burhanuddin Rabbani. A coup détat, or simply a coup, is the sudden overthrow of a government, usually done by a small group that just replaces the top power figures. ...

Recognition can be implied by other acts, like the visit of the head of state, or the signing of a bilateral treaty. 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 Organisation in 1988. Queen Elizabeth II, is the Head of State of 16 countries including: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Jamaica, New Zealand and the Bahamas, as well as crown colonies and overseas territories of the United Kingdom. ...

The doctrine of non-recognition of illegal or immoral factual situations (e.g. territorial gains achieved by the use of force) is called the Stimson Doctrine, and has become more important since the Second World War, especially in the United Nations as a method of ensuring compliance with international law, for instance in the case of Rhodesia in 1965. Withdrawal of recognition is an even more severe act of disapproval of another state than the breaking of diplomatic relations. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Another example is the United States non-recognition of the WWII annexation of the Baltic states by the Soviet Union. It continued to recognise the independence of these three states until surprisingly with the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union, these states once more came into being in fact, rather than just on paper. Baltic states and the Baltic Sea The Baltic states or the Baltic countries is a term which refers to three countries in Northern Europe: Estonia Latvia Lithuania Prior to World War II, Finland was sometimes considered a fourth Baltic state. ...
In 1974 the Australian Whitlam Government recognised de jure the incorporation of the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) into the Soviet Union. In actual fact the Soviet Union had had control over the Baltic States since the completion of the Second World War. Prior to 1974 Australia had recognised de facto control over the Baltic States by the Soviet Union, but only at this time recognised it de jure.
Other types of recognition Other things which can be recognised include belligerent rights of a party in a conflict, the occupation or annexation of territory. A belligerent is an individual, group, country or other entity which acts in an aggressive or hostile manner, such as engaging in combat. ...
