international recognition
Worldwide diplomatic acceptance
International recognition is the formal acknowledgment by other nations or international bodies that a state, government, or entity has legitimate standing.
New countries seek international recognition to establish diplomatic relations and join organizations like the United Nations.
Recognition can be withheld as political pressure: Taiwan lacks broad international recognition due to Chinese objections.
The term also applies to achievements gaining worldwide notice: Her research finally received international recognition.
