While noting that a number of OAS states recognize Taiwan diplomatically while others don't, the legal opinion said such differences "are not affected by the participation of member states in the international organization."
"Even those governments that do not have diplomatic relations with the Beijing authorities but that have relations with Taiwan, recognized as valid by participation of the Beijing authorities as the representative of China in their dealings within the United Nations, so that on the bilateral level, recognition of Taiwan as the government of the Chinese state can be maintained, whereas in the international organizations dealing with the government of Beijing as the government of the Chinese state, does not imply recognition of that government," the opinion said.
