Recogbias

The selective or inconsistent practice of recognizing the sovereignty or legitimacy of certain nations over others based on subjective, often biased criteria. Recogbias highlights instances where similar entities, like Somaliland, are disregarded due to political, racial, or cultural prejudices, potentially reflecting the broader double standards often observed against African entities in global forums.

The US policy was a clear case of recogbias, acknowledging Tiawan and Kosovo while ignoring Somaliland's.
