The problematic analysis of the institution of state recognition

The research covers the phenomenon of unrecognized states and the key concepts concerning the recognition of states. The problems of recognition are described; the prior protocols for granting sovereignty are briefly analyzed; the evolution of the institution of state recognition is traced. The paper analyzes the modern mechanisms of state recognition, assesses the current and prospective trends towards addressing the issues in this regard. The phenomenon of an unrecognized state is the difference in the legal mechanism and the implementation of the right of recognition in fact. The current phenomenon of unrecognized states increasingly affects the political aspects, since the concept of recognition is contextual due to the lack of clear regulation of this institution and legal conflicts. Recognition is the right of the recognizing state that demonstrates its readiness to support international, diplomatic, consular and other relations rather than the responsibility of the recognizing state and hence requires the specific codification and modernization of the mechanisms of recognition.
