Recognition was a necessary procedure for the emergence of new subjects of international law. The article indicates current problems, namely that international legal recognition can be called an institution of international law with a certain degree of conditionality, since the rules governing recognition have not been codified. The absence of a system in this regard does not even allow calling recognition a legal phenomenon, it is rather a political and legal process. The instability of the economic situation, periodic armed clashes and other negative phenomena accompanying the existence of unrecognized States should be of concern. The author concludes that the solution to these problems is only through the prism of international law by creating a single instrument governing legal recognition. The burden of creating such tools should fall on the Sixth (Legal) Committee of the UN General Assembly. The existing doctrine in the field of international recognition should give impetus to the work of UN lawyers and lead to the desired compromise.
