The resolution criteria are straightforward, requiring formal diplomatic recognition rather than mere announcements of intent before the specified deadline of December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. While official government statements serve as the primary source, the rules also allow resolution via a consensus of credible reporting, introducing some judgment if diplomatic wording is ambiguous. Note that the question title omits the specific calendar year, but the rules explicitly establish the end of 2026 as the cutoff.
