This week we are examining subjects of international law and what is a state. In your initial post this week, please discuss the following:
1. Explain in detail what determines statehood on the international stage, particularly in order to become a member state of the United Nations. What is the Montevideo Convention and what is its importance to statehood? Should recognition be considered when examining whether a country is a state? Why or why not?
2. After reading about Principality of Islandia in your Week 1 readings, what are your thoughts on it achieving statehood?
3. Lastly, examine your own country’s (A, B or C) status of statehood. Is your country truly a state? Why or why not?
