Sometimes the extent of factual dependency of one state upon another is so great that it is no more than a “puppet state.” In that case, it would not be meeting the requirement of independence, which is necessary for Statehood

In recent years, many new mini states or microstates have claimed Statehood. Entities like Andorra (under the joint protection of France and Spain), Monaco (France looks after its defense and a guarantor of its sovereignty), San Marino and Liechtenstein have survived on the European scene

Independence is crucial for Statehood, but not the size of that entity’s territory. In recent years, many new mini states or microstates have claimed Statehood.

As for Crimea, its declaration of independence from Ukraine after a referendum on March 16, 2014 and the subsequent claim and annexation by the Russian Federation on March 18, 2014 was widely criticized. The UN General Assembly, in its resolution of April 1, 2014, rejected the referendum vote and annexation

Class C mandates were the least-developed. Because of their sparse population or small size, or remoteness from the centers of civilization, or their geographical continuity to the territory of the Mandatory, they were administered under the laws of the Mandatory as integral portions of its territory. The territories concerned were: Nauru (Mandatory powers were Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand), New Guinea (Mandatory—Australia), Western Samoa (Mandatory—New Zealand), Pacific Islands north of the Equator (Mandatory— Japan), South-West Africa (Mandatory—South Africa).

The most important characteristic of the international personality of an entity is its treatymaking power. The treaty-making power of international governmental organizations is well entrenched in the United Nations practice.

-Class A comprised territories that were formerly part of the Ottoman Empire and were sufficiently advanced for their independence to be “provisionally recognized.” It was subject to the administrative advice and assistance of the Mandatory, “until such time as they were able to stand alone.” Except Iraq (Mandatory—Great Britain), which achieved early independence, all the territories under this category—Palestine and Transjordan (Mandatory—Great Britain), Syria and Lebanon (Mandatory—France) became independent only after the Second World War.
