Скачать или смотреть Analysing recognition multidirectionally: Canada, United Nations membership & the Algerian question

Author Caroline Dutton discusses the key points from her Review of International Studies article.

The process of admitting new members to the United Nations has historically been contentious and contradictory. This paper examines new membership through the lens of recognition, focusing on the historical case of Canada’s role in this debate between 1955 and 1962. Canada led the initiative to grant membership to 16 members in 1955 and supported new membership for 17 others (including former French colonies) in 1960. Simultaneously, it opposed resolutions in the UN General Assembly supporting Algerian independence from France . The concept of recognition helps explain this inconsistency, while this case also reveals much about recognition itself. Read the full article at: https://doi.org/10.1017/S026021052510...
