omalilandsun: Recently, balochistan had declared its independence from Pakistan. Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch has also appealed to the United Nations to declare balochistan as a separate country and give it recognition. Along with this, he has also requested the United Nations to send a peace force, so that the Baloch people can be freed from Pakistan. He has also demanded recognition of balochistan as a separate country from many countries of the world including India.
Mir Yar, while declaring a separate country, has also demanded billions of dollars of funds from the United Nations to open an embassy of balochistan in delhi and for a separate currency and passport. Such a unilateral declaration by Baloch leaders can prove to be a big setback for Pakistan. Actually, balochistan has been fighting for its independence for the last several decades. In such a situation, let us know which are the countries other than balochistan, which have declared themselves as independent countries.
Somaliland: Like balochistan, Somaliland declared its independence in 1991 in Somalia. However, the United Nations has not yet recognized this country as a separate country. It is considered a part of Somalia.
Kailaasa: Kailasa also claims itself to be a separate country. In fact, Nithyananda, accused of rape and kidnapping in india, fled from india in 2019. After this, he claimed to form a country of his own, which was named united states of Kailasa. It is claimed that Kailasa also has its own currency and this country also claims to join the United Nations. However, it has not been formally recognized as separate.
These conditions are mandatory for a new country
According to international law, if a country declares itself independent, it must follow four conditions. These four conditions identify a region as a separate country. This includes population, territory, government and sovereignty. That is, a country should have a permanent population and the people there should believe in their nationality. A country should have a definite territory. It is necessary for a country to be sovereign, that is, no other country should claim it. Apart from this, a country should have its own effective government.
