declare sovereignty in a document, such as the Declaration of Independence

pass a law requiring other states to recognize its sovereignty
C
gain recognition of sovereignty from the United Nations
D
merge with another state and form a new state

International sovereignty depends on recognition by other countries and the international community. Gaining recognition from the United Nations is therefore a way to establish international standing. Declaring sovereignty or passing a domestic law cannot require other states to recognize it.
