INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND THE NATIONAL COURTS

Authors

Abstract

The extending of international recognition to a new government or a new state is a political function which belongs exclusively to the political departments of government. It follows that whenever the question of recognition or not is really involved in litigation the court should inform itself as to the course pursued by the appropriate political department and decide accordingly. This much, if it ever needed to be settled, may now be regarded as settled beyond peradventure. See 18 MICH. L. REV. 531.
