ESTRADA DOCTRINE. This is a doctrine promoted by the then Secretary of Foreign Relations of Mexico Genaro Estrada to the effect that a state should not apply subjective considerations to extending recognition of a new government, but rather accept the existence of that government.
This is also known as the doctrine of effectiveness because it holds that the only test for recognition should be whether or not the government is in effective control of the machinery of state and the government. - Primus
