What Does State Recognition Mean?
- Montevideo Convention Criteria: The Montevideo Convention (1933) outlines four criteria for statehood: a permanent population, defined territory, government, and the capacity to enter relations with other states.
- UN Membership: To join the UN, a state must be peace-loving, accept UN Charter obligations, and be willing and able to fulfil these obligations. Admission requires a two-thirds majority in the UN General Assembly, following a recommendation from the Security Council (UNSC).
