Does Area 52 have an autonomous right to exist?

The answer is “Yes!”… if the following criteria are met, then no argument can ensue

  • Does it have a permanent population?
  • Does it have a defined territory?
  • Does it have a government?
  • Does it possess a capacity to “enter into relations” with other states?
  • Does it have a permanent population?
  • Does it have a defined territory?
  • Does it have a government?
  • Does it possess a capacity to “enter into relations” with other states?

Furthermore, the first sentence of Article 3 explicitly states that:

of the Montevideo Convention 1933

"The political existence of the state is independent of

recognition by the other states"

This is known as the declarative theory of statehood. It stands in conflict with the alternative constitutive theory of statehood, by which a state exists only insofar as it is recognized by other states.

2. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, 1933

The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is a treaty signed at Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933, during the Seventh International Conference of American States. The Convention codifies the declarative theory of statehood as accepted as part of customary international law. At the conference, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull declared the Good Neighbour Policy, which opposed U.S. armed intervention in inter-American affairs. The convention was signed by 19 states. The acceptance of three of the signatories was subject to minor reservations. Those states were Brazil, Peru and the United States.

The convention became operative on December 26, 1934. It was registered in League of Nations Treaty Series on January 8, 1936, which later became the United Nations (UN).
