 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 can be implied by other acts, like the visit of the head_of_state, or the signing of a bilateral treaty.
Recognition of a government implies recognition of the state it governs, but not vice versa.

 Diplomacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diplomatic recognition is an important factor in determining whether a nation is an independent state.
In some situations, such as between the United States and the People's Republic of China a large amount of diplomacy is done through semi-formal channels using interlocutors such as academic members of thinktanks.
Sometimes the exchanges may have no connection at all with governments, or may even act in defiance of governments; such exchanges are called Track III.

 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.
It is only by recognition that the new state acquires the status of a sovereign state under international law in its relations with the third states recognizing it as such.
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.

Although Bush's 1971 compromise concerned U.N. membership rather than diplomatic recognition, the basic concept remains valid and warrants extending full relations to Taipei as well as to Beijing.
Indeed, unpleasant for Beijing though it may be, the PRC needs close ties with the United States far more than we do with them.
The only candidate to do so - the only country willing and able to withstand the torrent of abuse that would flow from Beijing following dual diplomatic recognition - is the United States.

 Recognition of States: The Collapse of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union
The Guidelines describe the candidates for recognition as those new states which `have constituted themselves on a democratic basis, have accepted the appropriate international obligations and have committed themselves in good faith to a peaceful process and to negotiations'.
The noteworthy aspect of the decisions by the European Community Member States, the United States and others was that the term `recognition' is not used in the various announcements.
In coming to a full circle, recent recognition practice has defeated arguments that there is a legal duty to extend recognition to an entity bearing the marks of statehood.

 Indian Country Wisconsin - Federal Acknowledgement or Federal Recognition
Federal acknowledgement or recognition means that the United States government recognizes the right of an Indian tribe to exist as a sovereign entity.
The Menominees are probably the best example: in the 1950s, the federal government wanted to end federal recognition of all Indian tribes in the United States in a program called termination.
They succeeded in 1973 when the United States Congress re-extended federal recognition to the Menominee and restored their status as federally recognized tribe.

Shea acknowledged that a previous court challenge to the U.S. diplomatic recognition of the Holy See failed, but said it was because the plaintiffs -- a lobbying group seeking further separation of church and state -- didn't have standing, meaning they weren't affected by the issue.
The pope's lawyers have already asked President Bush to certify Benedict's immunity from liability in the civil lawsuit since he is a head of state -- the Vatican city-state.
In that case, the judge handling the case, Judge Lee Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston, would decide how to proceed, he said.

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.

The terms “unrecognized state” or “de facto state” seem to be somewhat more neutral and appropriate in this respect.
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.
