Through analysis of the history of and purposes associated with the involvement of international organizations in territorial administration, such as the recent UN missions in...

This monograph analyses the questions raised by the legal effects of peremptory norms of international law (jus cogens) in the light of their increasing importance in determining the permissible limits on the action of State and non-State...
