Independence of Lviv can be explained by declaratory theory and constitutive theory. Lviv partly fulfill the conditions of statehood in terms of declaratory theory. Declaratory theory refers to the Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States. It stated that a state has permanent population, defined territory, government and capacity to enter into legal relations (Shen, 2014). Under this extent, Lviv can only fulfill 2 conditions which are 2.5 million population and 21833 square kilometers of territorial size (Thehousenews, 2014). In other words, Lviv cannot fulfill condition of government. It is believed that a government is guaranteed to be able to maintaining political order, implementing foreign policies and securing and enforcing international rights and responsibilities.
