English to Persian (Farsi) Other Law (general) International Law

Recognition, put simply, is the “acknowledgement of the existence of an entity or situation indicating that the full legal consequences of that existence will be respected”. In other words, it is a unilateral act whereby a sovereign state accepts the legal existence of another state (or any government as the representative of such state), and welcomes it as a member of the international community, acknowledging its statehood (or its capacity as a government) and establishing the beginning of formal and bilateral diplomatic relations – often with the intention of being legally bound by the act.
