Positions taken by intergovernmental organisations

Intergovernmental organisations {IGOs) do not themselves diplomatically recognise any state; their member states do so individually. However, depending on the intergovernmental organisation's rules of internal governance and the positions of their member states, they may express positive or negative opinions as to declarations of independence, or choose to offer or withhold membership to a partially recognised state.

International organisation Position
 European Union (EU) The EU, like other IGOs, does not possess the legal capacity to diplomatically recognise any state; member states do so individually. The majority of member states have recognised South Sudan. A "Declaration by the EU and its Member States" issued by the European External Action Service stated "On this historic day, the EU and its Member States welcome the Republic of South Sudan as a new independent state. [...] The EU commends the Government of Sudan on its decision to recognise the new Republic of South Sudan with immediate effect."[46]
