State Recognition
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what criteria are applied in their recognition of a country concerning the land area claimed by that country.
- Answer
-
The normal criteria applied to the recognition of a state were described in the Written Answer by the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Mr Sainsbury (Official Report, House of Commons, 16 November 1989, col. 494). These include the criterion that a state should have, and seem likely to continue to have, a clearly defined territory with a population.
