message: What's the deal with the international community not recognizing the de-facto independent states (Northern Cyprus,Transnistria,South Ossetia,Abkhazia)?Can anybody explain such a phenomenon?Dimts 11:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For Turkish-occupied North Cyprus, it's the same reason the international community doesn't recognize the Israeli-occupied West Bank: Because invasion and occupation is not recognized under international law. --Delirium 13:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That can't be the only issue; the international community generally recognizes Western Sahara as part of Morocco, and recognized East Timor as part of Indonesia, Tibet as part of China... invasion and occupation have been repeatedly recognized throughout recent history. --Golbez 21:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The so-called international community, which is really composed of mostly Western states, has a peculiar opinion when it comes to independence-seeking entities. There are "good" candidates like Kosovo, and there are bad ones like South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria. And the decision to put a state in either category is purely political.
