[*According to international law of recognition of state contained in the art. 6 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention of Rights and Duties of the States, “The recognition of a state merely signifies that the state which recognizes it accepts the personality of the other with all the rights and duties determined by international law. Recognition is unconditional and irrevocable ”. Hence, once other states recognize SADR as a sovereign state, then these states cannot revoke their recognition, except for that SADR ceases to exist or the states that extend recognition to SADR as a sovereign state cease to exist. Only recognition of government can be revoked]
