Recognition of the states which are in the desire to emerge as a new state on the world stage has a number of legal consequences in terms of the existing states and the new states. In fact, the process of recognition of a new state is not only an acceptance of the physical existence of the state by the international community but also a situation that causes the status to change by acquiring a kind of personality from the perspective of international law. However, recognition is basically a decision made by the current state in the will to recognize the emerging political formation as the state. In this respect, the issue of recognition of new states has a largely political nature and is one of the privileges that an independent state uses. This study is consisting in two paragraphs, in the first part of this study; it reveals the legal aspects of the recognition of the newly established states and the legal effects in terms of the state recognizing the definition of a newborn state and the recognized state. On the other hand, the relations between the states which claim to be a new state and the states which do not recognize these states in terms of international law are examined and the approach to conscious definition called Stimson doctrine is analyzed. In the second part of the study, the main norms in international law related to recognition were put forward and the objective recognition elements coming into the agenda with the Montevideo Convention were examined. Besides, the recognition standards of the influential countries have been put forwarded such as United Kingdom and USA and also European Union.
