This book analyzes a new phenomenon in international law:
international organizations assuming the powers of a national
government in order to reform political institutions. After
reviewing the history of internationalized territories, this book
asks two questions about these "humanitarian occupations." First,
why did they occur? The book argues that the missions were part of
a larger trend in international law to maintain existing states and
their populations. The only way this could occur in these
territories, which had all seen violent internal conflict, was for
international administrators to take charge. Second, what is the
legal justification for the missions? The book examines each of the
existing justifications and finds them wanting. A new foundation is
needed, one that takes account of the missions" authorisation by
the UN Security Council and their pursuit of goals widely supported
in the international community.
