DESCRIPTION:International Law and WWI | Lecture Series\n\n\nThe legacy of
  the First World War for international trusteeship\n\nThe Versailles Tre
 aty after the First World War created an international Mandate System fo
 r the colonies of the defeated powers.  Mandated territories and their p
 opulations were administered by the victorious powers\, on the basis of 
 a ‘sacred trust of mankind’\, under the supervision of the League of Nat
 ions.  It is common to regard these arrangements\, and their counterpart
  in the mirror-arrangements adopted after the Second World War\, the UN 
 Trusteeship System\, as anachronisms.  As such\, their utility in unders
 tanding contemporary debates about occupation\, intervention\, developme
 nt and state-building is dismissed.  In the lecture\, I will argue that 
 this is mistaken\, and so constitutes a missed opportunity to understand
  the present better by appreciating linkages with the past.  I will expl
 ain how the trusteeship-over-people concept is significant for the issue
  of when and on what basis arrangements involving ‘foreign territorial a
 dministration’—whether colonialism\, administration by states under the 
 League Mandate and UN Trusteeship systems\, occupation by states\, or te
 rritorial administration by international organizations\, what I term in
 ternational territorial administration\, ITA—should end.  On this issue\
 , the trusteeship concept as epitomized in the Mandate System co-habits 
 in the international normative arena with a rival concept\, the self-det
 ermination concept.  The two concepts offer mutually contrasting visions
  on the issue of termination. This lecture will discuss the contrasting 
 fortunes of each these two normative visions in mediating the treatment 
 of foreign territorial administration over the course of the 20th twenti
 eth century and into the 21st century\, and what is at stake in choosing
  between them when determining the basis for exits from foreign territor
 ial administration today.\n\nLecturer: Dr Ralph Wilde - UCL\n\n\nRegiste
