Abstract
De facto states constitute an interesting anomaly in the international system of sovereign states. No matter how successful and efficient they are in the administration of their territories, they fail to achieve international recognition. The main priority is given to maintaining their existence and to an effort to convince domestic and international actors of their right to independence. Currently, most scholars consider only six entities as de facto states: Somaliland, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria and Northern Cyprus. The aim of this article is to determine which legitimization strategies for the right to independent statehood are applied by Somaliland representatives. The research is conducted through an analysis of official government documents supplemented with an interview with Abdillahi Duale, Somaliland’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, and two representatives of the African Union. Legitimizace státnosti v neuznaných státech: případová studie Somalilandu De facto státy představují zajímavou anomálii v mezinárodním systému suverénních států. Bez ohledu na to, jak dlouho a jak efektivně jsou schopny kontrolovat své území a zabezpečovat veřejné služby a bezpečnost svým občanům, nedaří se jim dosáhnout širšího mezinárodního uznání. Mezi jejich hlavní priority patří udržení vlastní existence a snaha přesvědčit domácí aktéry i mezinárodní společenství o oprávněnosti nároku na vlastní nezávislost. Většina akademiků se shoduje v názoru, že v současné době existuje pouze šest entit, jež odpovídají označení de facto stát: Somaliland, Abcházie, Jižní Osetie, Náhorní Karabach, Podněstří a Severní Kypr. Cílem tohoto textu je analýza strategií k legitimizaci nároku na vlastní nezávislou státnost v případě Somalilandu. Výzkum je prováděn na základě analýzy oficiálních somalilandských vládních dokumentů, jež jsou doplněny o rozhovory s Abdillahim Dualem, bývalým ministrem zahraničních věcí Somalilandu a dvěma představiteli Africké Unie.
