The author is also grateful to the entire Chicago Journal of International Law for their excellent feedback and assistance, as well as to Professor Curtis Bradley for his insight into the topic.

Recognition De Facto, Recognition De Jure, and the United States’ Policy Toward the Soviet Annexation of the Baltic Republics
Evgeny Tikhonrarov
Associate Professor, Siberian Federal University School of Law.

This work was conceived during my research stay at Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 2019 on an Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Grant. I am grateful to Professor Mikulas Fabry for his extensive and valuable comments on an earlier version of this Article. I have also benefited from comments by participants of the 4th Annual Conterence of the Central and Eastern European Network of Legal Scholars held at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Deep thanks as well to the editors of the Chicago Journal of International Law for their outstanding work. Views, omissions, and errors are, of course, my own.

This Article seeks to determine which scholarly approach regarding de jure and de facto recognition is most consistent with the U.S.’s actual attitude toward the Baltic annexation.

I want to thank my professors at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law. I am grateful to Michael P. Scharf, Dean of the School of Law, and Jonathon Gordon, Director of the S.J.D. Program, for their expert guidance and encouragement. I also want to thank the Fineman and Pappas Law Libraries of the Boston University School of Law, especially Director Ronald E. Wheeler, for continued support and mentorship.

This Article looks at how the Uniting for Peace Resolution could have mitigated the suffering in Syria, and how it can be used effectively in future conflicts.
