Should this not include more organizations? -- とある白い猫 chi? 01:34, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
The Commonwealth of Nations needs to be included, as South Sudan's independence is supported by a majority of its member states. There is also very strong support for South Sudan's admission into full membership of the Commonwealth - both within South Sudan itself and in the majority of the member states. - ( 203.211.70.207 ( talk) 12:49, 26 August 2011 (UTC))
Just received confirmation from the Danish MFA that they did recognize South Sudan on July 9.-- Avala ( talk) 13:24, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Botswana MFA sent me a press release in pdf that shows that they recognized South Sudan on July 15 but unfortunately no one picked up and published this press release online so I am not sure what we can do.-- Avala ( talk) 13:24, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

WHY ARE YOU NOT UPDATING THE LIST????
Why are you so aggressive,unknown user???? Why are you shouting like "WHY ARE YOU NOT UPDATING?" This is unfriendly. It´s indeed updated. The problem is,that Somalia and Cape Verde have the same number,therefore the list is still numbered 100 and not 101! Brian,USA
Recognition-problems for South Sudan!
It looks like the South Sudan has large recognition problems in Central America and Oceania! In Africa,Asia and Europe many small states refuse recognition so far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.2.77 ( talk) 10:06, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Sascha from Germany:
I personally think,that the recognition-process for the South Sudan is now exhausted. Most of the remaining countries will not recognize the South Sudan in the coming years. States like Serbia,Georgia,Azerbaijan,Marocco,Yemen and many others with similar seccession-problems in their own countries will not grant recognition. In addition we have the Ultra-group of the many small island nations in the Pacific,Caribbean and Indian Ocean,who are not recognizing new states today,because they are in a fundamental opposition to the big UN-countries,who decide everything on their own without asking the small countries. Then we have a third group of disappointed nations like Venezuela,Iraq,Syria,Niger,Chad etc.... who were not granted access to the oil in South Sudan,because South Sudan has only made contracts with the most powerful countries and it´s direct neighbours. So as a result i don´t think,that the South Sudan will reach the psychologically important two-third majority of 130 states soon. Even here in Germany many politicians are skeptical about the South Sudan and disagreed with Germany´s recognition on july 9!
CUBA
Cuba has recognized South Sudan,but i cannot find the official recognition-statement, Brian,USA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.2.77 ( talk) 09:15, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
According to my info Cuba,Monaco,Tunisia and Myanmar also recognized South Sudan. But there are no official documents in the Internet so far!!! Sascha,Germany — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.2.77 ( talk) 11:06, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Some weeks ago i read somewhere,that Prince Albert of Monaco stated,that he will follow into the footsteps of France and also recognize South Sudan!! But no official document so far! Sascha,Germany
Cuba has "saluted and welcomed" the independence of South Sudan many times in july!
Tunisia also "welcomed" South Sudan.
And the military junta in Myanmar also congratulated the South Sudan. But these are only ordinary statements,maybe no recognition
In my opinion the South Sudan has recognition-trouble with many small counttries. There are two reasons:
1) Many small states are not very interested in the South Sudan-topic. Far away island-states in the three oceans have different priorities 2) Many small states want to oppose the "big countries" in the UN,because they feel themselves unfairly treated by the "Big Ones". For example Burundi lamented some weeks ago,that "South Sudan has not conctacted our government so far concerning a possible oil-treaty" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.2.77 ( talk) 11:12, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Is the number field really necessary? The order based on the dates should be sufficient IMHO. Do we really know which one is before the other? Particularly for the first 5 days of recognition? -- とある白い猫 chi? 03:17, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
I do not agree with your decision,Bazonka!!! The numbers were a good thing for orientation!!! Sascha,Germany — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.2.77 ( talk) 13:09, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
instead of removing the numbers you should search for countries,who also recognized South Sudan,Bazonka. Numbers are important for orientation. The Kosovo-article and Montenegro (foreign relations) also have numbers!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sascha30 ( talk • contribs) 13:23, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
the date is not important,it´s completely uninteresting. But we should see the numbers to know the numbers of countries,who recognized the South Sudan. We also can see it in the case of Montenegro-foreign relations. It´s about the numbers,not about the date. Who cares about the date? No one!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sascha30 ( talk • contribs) 13:52, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
What is the future of this "article"? At the moment all it is a repository of dates attributed to online news reports. This is probably all it will ever be. After all, what else can be said? That nobody actively denies the existence of the state of South Sudan? It was de facto recognised by every member state in the United Nations when the General Assembly unanimously voted to admit it as a state. So, what is the logic behind having this as its own article?
Proposal: merge the content into Foreign relations of South Sudan and redirect the page. And display it differently. Possibilities that are much less messy:
Date of recognition | Country |
---|---|
10 July 2011 | Angola, Israel, Somalia, Cape Verde, Bahrain, Vietnam, Kuwait, Burkina Faso. |
11 July 2011 | Estonia, United Arab Emirates, Czech Republic, Eritrea, Saudia Arabia, Costa Rica. |
Country | Date of recognition | Relations established | Other columns |
---|---|---|---|
Angola | 10 July 2011 | 8 August 2011 | Note: the second date is made up for demonstration. |
A date of recognition is the most tiny piece of information and it doesn't need its own article, just like we don't need an article on Dates of establishment of diplomatic relations with South Sudan. Nightw 09:55, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
I agree with NightW. This kind of article works for controversial recognitions but not for South Sudan which is unanimously recognised anyway. I think it should be merged. Sascha being rude and pointing out that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does nothing to give a reason for keeping this as a stand-alone article. Delusion23 ( talk) 14:19, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
I strongly disagree. It's much better to leave it as it is now. 79.243.203.226 ( talk) 14:53, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Unless sourced it isn't assumed that these countries recognized it. I propose my template structure above. It is unfinished yet as I am all alone working on it. The template structure can be extended to include the proposal above. Feel free to help. I see no reason to remove this article as plenty of countries refused the recognition of this new country and also even if everyone recognizes it the list still holds. It is the chronology of the recognition. -- とある白い猫 chi? 20:25, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
I think the problem here is what it means to be recognised/unrecognised. This article is based on the idea that recognition is when a government writes a nice letter to South Sudan or some politician says in a speech about his high hopes for the new country and how he or she wishes it well. However, recognition between states is about how states relate to one another. If a state is not recognised by another, they will formally not officially talk to that states politicians, not implement bilateral relations, and generally officially ignore/deny its existence (although obviously secret talks and channels of unofficial communication are found everywhere). Of course, sometimes the existence is very hard to ignore (think Israel), yet countries still deny its right to statehood. This is different than not having produced a piece of paper or made a statement, which this article is based on. That flaw in this article is further compounded because basically its inclusion criteria is not just "countries that have made a statement of recognition", but "countries that have made a statement of recognition which a wikipedian can find on the internet". Basing the article on this implies that a country that is not on the article does not recognise South Sudan, implying all the baggage that comes with it. It's a great disservice to the readers. Chipmunkdavis ( talk) 16:55, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I went ahead with it. Don't know what to do with this stuff though:
Positions taken by intergovernmental organisations | ||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. | ||||||||||||||
Intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) do not themselves diplomatically recognise any state; their member states do so individually. However, depending on the intergovernmental organisation's rules of internal governance and the positions of their member states, they may express positive or negative opinions as to declarations of independence, or choose to offer or withhold membership to a partially recognised state.

SYRIA AND YEMEN
I think,that Syria and Yemen will not recognize South Sudan in the coming weeks,because Assad and Saleh have different problems at the moment and no time to care about the South-Sudan-topic, Alex,USA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.16.226 ( talk) 15:10, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
I agree,that states like Syria,Yemen,Iraq,Afghanistan and many others have quite other problems at the moment and do not care about the recognition of South Sudan.

What should be the target article of this redirect? Japinderum ( talk) 15:58, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
There is a disagreement between CMD and me about the redirect target. The last version of the page before becoming a redirect is [12] (Aug2011). Afterwards it was merged into and redirected to Foreign relations of South Sudan until Nov2011, when the content was subject to repetitious deletions from Foreign relations of South Sudan (my opinion is that there wasn't consensus for such deletions). A related page was recently established, Chronology of diplomatic recognitions and relations of South Sudan, combining the incorrectly deleted content with additional relevant data from Foreign relations of South Sudan, gone trough AfD with the result "keep or merge".
Comparing [13] with the two redirect targets:
Option1 is much closer to the version of this page before the redirect. Also, the topic "chronology of diplomatic recognitions and relations" is much closer to "international recognition" than to "foreign relations". Japinderum ( talk) 09:21, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I think it would be better if we focused on whether the content should be merged into Foreign relations of South Sudan or kept at Chronology of diplomatic recognitions and relations of South Sudan first. Obviously if it's merged then the redirect should point to Foreign relations of South Sudan and we can avoid this debate. TDL ( talk) 08:08, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
No mainspace articles link to this redirect page, so this is an irrelevant discussion. It really doesn't matter. Bazonka ( talk) 19:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
While I don't see the need for a separate article solely for the dates of recognition, if the articles are to remain as they currently do then this redirect should point towards the Chronology page (option 1) as that is the only article which deals with the recognition of SS. Much better options would be to either: re-merge the content into the Foreign relations page and point this page there OR move the Chronology page here and get rid of the content that is already covered on the Foreign relations page. TDL ( talk) 07:32, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
So consensus appears to be for a merge then? CMD ( talk) 10:32, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

A related page was recently established, Chronology of diplomatic recognitions and relations of South Sudan, combining the incorrectly deleted content with additional relevant data from Foreign relations of South Sudan, gone trough AfD with the result "keep or merge".
Comparing [13] with the two redirect targets:
Option1 is much closer to the version of this page before the redirect. Also, the topic "chronology of diplomatic recognitions and relations" is much closer to "international recognition" than to "foreign relations". Japinderum ( talk) 09:21, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I think it would be better if we focused on whether the content should be merged into Foreign relations of South Sudan or kept at Chronology of diplomatic recognitions and relations of South Sudan first. Obviously if it's merged then the redirect should point to Foreign relations of South Sudan and we can avoid this debate. TDL ( talk) 08:08, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
No mainspace articles link to this redirect page, so this is an irrelevant discussion. It really doesn't matter. Bazonka ( talk) 19:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
While I don't see the need for a separate article solely for the dates of recognition, if the articles are to remain as they currently do then this redirect should point towards the Chronology page (option 1) as that is the only article which deals with the recognition of SS. Much better options would be to either: re-merge the content into the Foreign relations page and point this page there OR move the Chronology page here and get rid of the content that is already covered on the Foreign relations page.

So consensus appears to be for a merge then? CMD ( talk) 10:32, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
