Discussion
According to which theory it is the act of recognition alone which constitutes statehood ?
Answer: B
It is the constitutive theory.
The constitutive theory, associated with Hegel, Oppenheim and Anzilotti, holds that a state becomes an international person only through recognition by other states; recognition creates (constitutes) statehood.
The declaratory theory holds the opposite: statehood exists once the factual criteria of population, territory, government and capacity for relations are met, and recognition merely acknowledges it, as Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention puts it. Naturalist and positivist theories are general schools of international law, not theories of recognition.
