TRENDS IN THE STATES RECOGNITION IN INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC LAW AND THE CASE OF MACEDONIA

Abstract

The paper analyses the most recent trends in the international
public law in relation to the institute of STATES RECOGNITION,
which is particularly up-dated with the European experiences in
recognizing the states that have been created following the dissolution
of the socialist federations in Eastern Europe. The problem of
recognition of the Republic of Macedonia, as a rare precedent in
setting "standards", will be a sub-context thereof. This is the very
basis of some possible conclusions (further in the text) influencing the
previously mentioned trend, which are also broadened to include the
UN` legal practice from the aspect of "interpreting" the UN Charter
concerning the issue of admitting new member states.
