... a government of one state may recognize the government of another as de jure government, that is one that was established according to the laws (constitution) of that state, but it also may grant such recognition for the purpose of boosting the prestige of that government, even though that government was not established according to existing laws. In any case, recognition of one government or state by another is a matter left strictly to the discretion of the recognizing state. 1, record 1, English, - de%20jure%20government
