Summary
The question of the legal effect of the recognition of states has been characterized by the debate between the constitutive and the declaratory schools of thought for over a century. An examination of the case of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus however shows that neither of the two theories can satisfactorily explain the collective non-recognition of an entity that meets the criteria for statehood but that has been created in violation of a fundamental rule of public international law.
