The units that exercise a certain degree of effective authority over the territory of a state is called the de facto regime. Today in terms of international law the status and legal personality of de facto regimes are uncertain. As de facto regimes replace the official government of the state by force and unconstitutional methods, they pose significant threats to international peace and security. International community responds to the problem of the de facto state and de facto regime with the method of recognition. Recognition of government is important in situations such as civil war, revolution and coup d’etat, in case of a change of power, which is contrary to the constitutions of states and international law. In these states of emergency, states have traditionally resorted to the principle of effectiveness in order to recognize new governments. While states grant to the de jure status to the entities that are effective both internally and externally in a state; different entities are given to different status that aren’t internally and externally effective in a given state as in Libya. In the post-2011 periods, the Libyan example proved that the effective control principle isn’t an absolute principle in state practice. The presence of popular support shows that factors such as widespread recognition by the international community, international peace and stability gain more importance. Multi- government problem in Libya after Gaddafi period is important in terms of Turkey’s rights and interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.
