Estrada Doctrine

After the Estrada Doctrine any (non) recognition of a government is a violation of international law intervention in the internal affairs of a foreign state. It goes back to Genaro Estrada Félix (1887 - 1937), the 1930 - 1932 Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico was and who she formulated in 1930.

The Estrada Doctrine advocates insofar sure to refrain from any act of recognition by governments; it is thus the counter-proposal to the so-called Tobar Doctrine.

Reception

Bernd Loudwin wrote in 1983, referring to two sources: " Just as the Tobar Doctrine, which has not prevailed, the Estrada Doctrine was essentially limited to a historical political role."
