This article analyses two of the most controversial institutions of public international law: the recognition/ non-recognition of states and the sanction in public international law, arguing why the non-recognition of states represents one of the specific sanctions of the public international law. The purpose of this article is to bring a novelty value to the current stage of research, by analysing a specific sanction of public international law: the non-recognition of the states created by disregarding international rules, especially the jus cogens ones. Therefore, the research hypothesis of this article is as follows: the nonrecognition of states represents a specific legal sanction of public international law which intervenes as a results of the violation of some jus cogens rules in the process of creating the new state that wants its recognition.
