Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

'… Fox's well organised, thorough and able analysis departs from two questions directrices: why, by endowing international organisations with governing authority over a state, take the 'remarkable step of effectively inverting accepted notions of state sovereignty' and what the legal basis for such an enterprise would be, taking into account that HO 'inevitably sits uneasily with traditional legal categories'. … the concluding reflections of this timely and recommendable book … provide an original and thought-provoking exercise in view of an international law regime constantly in flux.' The Yale Journal of International Law
